GSSI 1600 MHz Smart Antenna

The Model 51600S is a 1600 MHz “smart” antenna. This antenna has a special chip in it that will work with the SIR-30 and future control units (not the SIR-3000 or SIR-20). This chip will identify the antenna to the SIR-system control unit so that the controller will be able to automatically load up the correct default settings. The 51600S will function with a SIR-3000, SIR-20 or any of GSSI’s previous controllers, but the user will need to manually set the collection parameters on the SIR-system.

Applications

  • Archaeology
  • Concrete Infrastructure Evaluation
  • Rebar and Reinforcing
  • Void Detection
