Overview MIRA HDR

In short, the MIRA HDR system comprises the following parts:

• HDR antennas; separate transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) antennas with a central

frequency of 500MHz.

• MIRA antenna box; special antenna box for deployment of the MIRA system. The

‘standard’ antenna box is set-up for a regular 22-channel swath, with 12 Rx and 11 Tx

antennas, but it is possible to program any Tx-Rx combination resulting in, if all are

selected, 132 channels.

• Measurement wheel; used to trigger data collection and keep track of the distances.

To make the system complete and running, the following parts are also needed:

• Power supply for the antenna box.

• Field computer or tablet (with Windows 10x64) with MIRAsoft HDR software installed,

to collect, save and view multi-channel data. We highly recommend the use of a rugged

field computer.

• Positioning system e.g. RTK-GPS or robotic total station.

• Suitable carrier solution (to carry or pull the antenna box) or arrangement to hand-push

the system.

To connect the parts, see System set-up section. Instructions and information for carrying out a

multi-channel MIRA measurement can be found in the MIRAsoft HDR User Guide.
