MetaSensing FastGBSAR ground-based interferometric radar (FastGBSAR-S and FastGBSAR-R).
The FastGBSAR is a family of ground-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar instruments manufactured by MetaSensing (Cassino, Italy) for continuous deformation monitoring of terrain and structures.[1] It operates at Ku-band (17.2 GHz) and is available in two primary variants: FastGBSAR-S (SAR scanning mode, producing 2D displacement maps across a wide arc with a scan time of under 5 seconds and one image every 10 seconds, range up to 4 km, range resolution 0.5 m, and displacement accuracy of 0.1 mm)[2] and FastGBSAR-R (real aperture radar mode, optimised for compact portable deployment with displacement accuracy of 0.01 mm).[1] Both variants support single and dual polarisation and operate continuously in all-weather conditions. Typical deployment contexts include open-pit mines, landslides, dams, bridges, towers, and wind turbines, with a trailer-mounted configuration available for field operations.[1] The system is described in peer-reviewed publications from IEEE IGARSS 2012 and SPIE 2014.[3][4]
- InSAR - surface deformation
FastGBSAR-S operates as a ground-based interferometric SAR producing 2D displacement maps every 10s with 0.1mm accuracy at up to 4km range. Ku-band 17.2 GHz. Peer-reviewed publications at IEEE IGARSS 2012 and SPIE 2014 confirm operational interferometric deformation monitoring capability.
