IBIS - Model FS -Remote Monitoring Microwave Interferometry Based Radar System for Structural Movements

In static, the IBIS-FS is ideal for:

• Structure load testing;
• Structure displacement and collapse hazards;
• Cultural heritage preservation.

In dynamic, the IBIS-FS is best used for:

• Structure resonance frequency measurements;
• Structural modal shape analysis.

In either state, the IBIS-FS features:

• Remote sensing: Real-time remote sensing at up to 1 km with no need for equipment to be installed on the monitored structure.
• Accurate measurements: Measures displacements of as little as 0.01mm @ 0.5km range. No standard instrument can achieve such accuracy.
• Ground vibration removal: Built-in accelerometer to cancel the self-induced vibrations transmitted to the radar from the ground (IBIS-FS Plus).
• Sampling: Structural vibration sampling up to 200 Hz.
• Always operational: Operates day and night and in all weather conditions.

• Increased structural health monitoring efficiency through the use of a non-invasive vibration monitoring technique;
• Accurate and remote monitoring of a bridge or structure;
• Reduces the time necessary for static or dynamic bridge structural testing to just a few minutes;
• Real-time data on structural vibration and natural frequencies;
