Real time data collection dual system for Environmental research project
The requirement
The clients, Geo-Physics Group had developed an airborne radar system that can see through the deepest ice sheets found in Antarctica. This radar, together with other geophysical equipment, is used to look for potential instabilities in the Antarctic ice sheets, which in turn may cause them to fail and release billions of tons of ice into the world's oceans. A large amount of data is collected and needs to be read and stored promptly and reliably.
The solution
Before shipping the system, it was fully tested at our EMC test facility for emissions and immunity to the relevant standards. At Amplicon, we only specify components that are known to have good EMC characteristics, but this does not negate the importance of testing.
Why Amplicon?
This project was the result of a rapid response from our sales team. From taking the first call, regarding the urgent requirement, and receiving the order from the customer only 6 days elapsed. The first system was delivered 3 weeks later and tests began. It was Amplicon's 40 years of engineering experience and the long-standing relationship with the customer that gave us the edge over the competition.
