16 / 65

1. INTRODUCTION

This document describes the IBIS-L system (Image By Interferometric Survey -L), with

particular reference to the concepts the user should learn before starting to use this device.

Therefore we recommend to read the entire document before starting up the system.

If technical assistance is required, please use the contact numbers provided on page 3 of

this manual.

1.1 Aim

Reading this document will provide the operator with all the necessary knowledge to

install and maintain the IBIS-L system. In particular, it provides a step by step procedure

for installation of the system, information for the safe use of the system and instructions

for general maintenance.

1.2 Field of application

This document applies to the installation of the IBIS system in -L configuration and its

use in the field for monitoring of quasi static phenomena.

1.3 Authorisation for use – national restriction

European countries

IBIS-L system has been classified from the CEPT Administrations as SRD – Short Range

Device - i.e. a device that doesn’t cause interference to other systems operating in the

same frequency band. IBIS-L has so been included (as Ground Based SAR) in the

ERC/REC 70-03 that defines the SRD equipment.

For Ku band system

In the meanwhile that all the European countries update their national frequency

allocation table applying the new recommendation, currently the use of IBIS-L system

outside a laboratory can be still subject to authorisation by the Competent Ministry of the

country where the system should be used. Please refer to the Competent Ministry of the

country where the system should be used to know whether there is still the need of an

authorisation or not.

For X band system

Almost all the European countries have applied the ERC/REC 70-03 for the X band

system. Please refer to the Competent Ministry of the country where the system should be

used to know if there are some limitations in the use of X band IBIS-L equipment or not.
