2.3.1 Low Frequency Antennas
The pulseEKKO PRO can be used with many different antennas. There are 5 low frequency, unshielded,
bistatic antennas available: 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 MHz (Figure 2-7). The best frequency of antenna to
use on a survey depends on the survey objectives (Section 3.2.1: P34).
Figure 2-7: Low frequency, unshielded, bistatic antennas available for the pulseEKKO PRO. The antennas come in pairs; one
transmitting antenna and one receiving antenna. The shortest antennas, the 200 MHz, are 0.5 metres long while the longest, the
12.5 MHz are 8 metres long.
The procedure for attaching the transmitter and receiver to any low frequency antenna is outlined below.
