Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM) - Ground- and Wall- Probing Radar applications (GPR/WPR) imaging systems - Part 1: Technical characteristics and test methods

Revision to fully comply with new ECC DEC (06)08 on GPR/WPR and reference to combined equipment guide TR 102 070-2. The present document specifies the requirements for Ground- and Wall- Probing Radar imaging systems applications. Ground Probing Radars (GPR) and Wall Probing Radars (WPR) are used in survey and detection applications. The scope is limited to GPR and WPR radars, in which the system is in close proximity to the materials being investigated. It does not include radars operated from aircraft or spacecraft.
The GPR/WPR applications in the present document are not intended for communications purposes, and the intended signal is not radiated into free space.
NOTE: Equipment covered by the present document is intended to be used by competent professional personnel.
The present document applies to:
1) Ground Probing Radars (GPR) operating over approximately one decade in the frequency range
30 MHz to 12,4 GHz radiating directly downwards into the ground. Any horizontal radiation from this
equipment is caused by leakage and is considered as undesired emission.
2) Wall Probing Radars (WPR) operating in the frequency range 30 MHz to 12,4 GHz radiating directly into a "wall". The "wall" is a building material structure, the side of a bridge, the wall of a mine or another physical structure that absorbs a significant part of the signal transmitted by the radar.
3) Equipment fitted with integral antennas and without antenna connector.
4) Equipment which uses different imaging heads (antennas) with an antenna connector, to allow operation at different frequencies.
The present document does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 Presentation of equipment for testing purposes
Each equipment to be tested, where applicable, shall fulfil the requirements of the present document on all frequencies
over which it is intended to operate.
The provider shall provide one or more samples of the equipment, as appropriate for testing.
Additionally, technical documentation and operating manuals, sufficient to allow testing to be performed, shall be
supplied.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.2.1 (2008-02)
The performance of the equipment to be tested shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment, the present document contains instructions for the
presentation of equipment for testing purposes (clause 5), conditions of testing (clause 6) and the measurement methods
(clause 8).
Equipment shall be offered by the provider complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing. The provider
shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operation conditions and power requirements, as applicable, in order
to establish the appropriate test conditions.
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with that combination of features considered to be the most complex, as
proposed by the provider and agreed by the test laboratory.
In addition, when a device has the capability of using different imaging heads, each one shall be tested independently.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
The equipment submitted by the provider shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good
engineering practice and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
Transmitters and receivers may be individual or combination units.
4.3 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary test signal sources and set-up information shall accompany the equipment when it is submitted for testing.
4.4 General requirements for RF cables
Due to the low power levels involved in the measurements, all RF cables including their connectors at both ends used
within the measurement arrangements and set-ups shall be of coaxial type featuring within the frequency range they are
used:
• a nominal characteristic impedance of 50 Ω;
• a VSWR of less than 1,2 at either end;
• a shielding loss in excess of 60 dB.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be made under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.4.
5.2 External test power source
During tests the power source of the equipment shall be an external test power source, capable of producing normal and
extreme test voltages. The internal impedance of the external test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the
test results to be negligible.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.2.1 (2008-02)
The test voltage shall be measured at the point of connection of the power cable to the equipment.
During tests the external test power source voltages shall be within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the
beginning of each test. The level of this tolerance can be critical for certain measurements. Using a smaller tolerance
provides a reduced uncertainty level for these measurements.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient temperature
and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.
5.3.2 Normal test power source
The internal impedance of the test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible.
For the purpose of the tests, the voltage of the external test power source shall be measured at the input terminals of the
equipment.
5.3.2.1 Regulated lead-acid battery power source
The normal test voltage for equipment shall be a regulated lead-acid battery power source. For the purpose of the
present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the
equipment was designed.
When the radio equipment is intended for operation with the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source,
the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (e.g. 6 V, 12 V, etc.).
5.3.2.2 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the provider. Such values shall be stated in the test report.
5.4 Extreme test conditions
5.4.1 Extreme temperatures
5.4.1.1 Procedure for tests at extreme temperatures
Before measurements are made the equipment shall have reached thermal balance in the test chamber. The equipment
shall not be switched off during the temperature stabilizing period.
If the thermal balance is not checked by measurements, a temperature stabilizing period of at least one hour, or such
period as may be decided by the test laboratory, shall be allowed. The sequence of measurements shall be chosen, and
the humidity content in the test chamber shall be controlled so that excessive condensation does not occur.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
11 ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.2.1 (2008-02)
5.4.1.2 Extreme temperature ranges
For tests at extreme temperatures, measurements shall be made in accordance with the procedures specified in
clause 5.4.1.1, at the upper and lower. temperatures of one of the following limits:
• temperature: -20 °C to +55 °C
5.4.2 Extreme test source voltages
5.4.2.1 Regulated lead-acid battery power source
The extreme test voltages for equipment shall be the nominal voltage ±10 %.
5.4.2.2 Other power sources
For equipment using other power sources, or capable of being operated from a variety of power sources, the extreme
test voltages shall be that declared by the provider. These shall be recorded in the test report.
5.5 Combined equipment
When GPR/WPR is part of a combined equipment refer to the guidelines set out in TR 102 070-2 [4].
6 General conditions
6.1 Radiated measurement arrangements
Detailed descriptions of the radiated measurement arrangements are included in annex A. In general, measurements
shall be carried out under far field conditions. The far field condition for the EUTs is considered to be fulfilled in a
2
minimum radial distance "X" that shall be a minimum of 2d /λ , where d = largest dimension of the antenna aperture of
the EUT, for a single device measurement.
Absolute power measurements shall be made using an appropriate method to ensure that the wave front is properly
formed (i.e. operating in far field conditions). The test site shall meet the appropriate requirements as defined in
published guidelines/standards.
It may not be possible to measure at the power limits without low-noise amplification to reduce the overall noise figure
of the overall measurement system at a separation of approximately 3 meters in an RF quite environment. A lower
separation distance may be required since the instrumentation noise floor should be at least 10 dB above the limit within
the instrument bandwidth.
6.2 Measuring receiver
The term measuring receiver refers to a spectrum analyser. The reference bandwidth of the measuring receiver as
defined in CISPR 16-1 [1] shall be as given in table 1.
Table 1: Reference bandwidth of measuring receiver
Frequency being measured: f Spectrum analyser bandwidth (3 dB)
30 MHz ≤ f < 1 000 MHz 100 kHz
1 000 MHz ≤ f 1 MHz

1 Scope
The present document specifies the requirements for Ground- and Wall- Probing Radar imaging systems applications.
Ground Probing Radars (GPR) and Wall Probing Radars (WPR) are used in survey and detection applications.
The scope is limited to GPR andWPR radars, in which the system is in close proximity to the materials being
investigated. It does not include radars operated from aircraft or spacecraft.
The GPR/WPR applications in the present document are not intended for communications purposes, and the intended
signal is not radiated into free space.
NOTE: Equipment covered by the present document is intended to be used by competent professional personnel.
The present document applies to:
1) Ground Probing Radars (GPR) operating over approximately one decade in the frequency range
30 MHz to 12,4 GHz radiating directly downwards into the ground. Any horizontal radiation from this
equipment is caused by leakage and is considered as undesired emission.
2) Wall Probing Radars (WPR) operating in the frequency range 30 MHz to 12,4 GHz radiating directly into a
"wall". The "wall" is a building material structure, the side of a bridge, the wall of a mine or another physical
structure that absorbs a significant part of the signal transmitted by the radar.
3) Equipment fitted with integral antennas and without antenna connector.
4) Equipment which uses different imaging heads (antennas) with an antenna connector, to allow operation at
different frequencies.
The present document does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it
necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 Presentation of equipment for testing purposes
Each equipment to be tested, where applicable, shall fulfil the requirements of the present document on all frequencies
over which it is intended to operate.
The provider shall provide one or more samples of the equipment, as appropriate for testing.
Additionally, technical documentation and operating manuals, sufficient to allow testing to be performed, shall be
supplied.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 Final draft ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.2.1 (2007-12)
The performance of the equipment to be tested shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment, the present document contains instructions for the
presentation of equipment for testing purposes (clause 5), conditions of testing (clause 6) and the measurement methods
(clause 8).
Equipment shall be offered by the provider complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing. The provider
shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operation conditions and power requirements, as applicable, in order
to establish the appropriate test conditions.
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with that combination of features considered to be the most complex, as
proposed by the provider and agreed by the test laboratory.
In addition, when a device has the capability of using different imaging heads, each one shall be tested independently.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
The equipment submitted by the provider shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good
engineering practice and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
Transmitters and receivers may be individual or combination units.
4.3 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary test signal sources and set-up information shall accompany the equipment when it is submitted for testing.
4.4 General requirements for RF cables
Due to the low power levels involved in the measurements, all RF cables including their connectors at both ends used
within the measurement arrangements and set-ups shall be of coaxial type featuring within the frequency range they are
used:
• a nominal characteristic impedance of 50 Ω;
• a VSWR of less than 1,2 at either end;
• a shielding loss in excess of 60 dB.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be made under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.4.
5.2 External test power source
During tests the power source of the equipment shall be an external test power source, capable of producing normal and
extreme test voltages. The internal impedance of the external test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the
test results to be negligible.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 Final draft ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.2.1 (2007-12)
The test voltage shall be measured at the point of connection of the power cable to the equipment.
During tests the external test power source voltages shall be within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the
beginning of each test. The level of this tolerance can be critical for certain measurements. Using a smaller tolerance
provides a reduced uncertainty level for these measurements.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient temperature
and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.
5.3.2 Normal test power source
The internal impedance of the test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible.
For the purpose of the tests, the voltage of the external test power source shall be measured at the input terminals of the
equipment.
5.3.2.1 Regulated lead-acid battery power source
The normal test voltage for equipment shall be a regulated lead-acid battery power source. For the purpose of the
present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the
equipment was designed.
When the radio equipment is intended for operation with the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source,
the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (e.g. 6 V, 12 V, etc.).
5.3.2.2 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the provider. Such values shall be stated in the test report.
5.4 Extreme test conditions
5.4.1 Extreme temperatures
5.4.1.1 Procedure for tests at extreme temperatures
Before measurements are made the equipment shall have reached thermal balance in the test chamber. The equipment
shall not be switched off during the temperature stabilizing period.
If the thermal balance is not checked by measurements, a temperature stabilizing period of at least one hour, or such
period as may be decided by the test laboratory, shall be allowed. The sequence of measurements shall be chosen, and
the humidity content in the test chamber shall be controlled so that excessive condensation does not occur.

11 Final draft ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.2.1 (2007-12)
5.4.1.2 Extreme temperature ranges
For tests at extreme temperatures, measurements shall be made in accordance with the procedures specified in
clause 5.4.1.1, at the upper and lower. temperatures of one of the following limits:
• temperature: -20 °C to +55 °C
5.4.2 Extreme test source voltages
5.4.2.1 Regulated lead-acid battery power source
The extreme test voltages for equipment shall be the nominal voltage ±10 %.
5.4.2.2 Other power sources
For equipment using other power sources, or capable of being operated from a variety of power sources, the extreme
test voltages shall be that declared by the provider. These shall be recorded in the test report.
5.5 Combined equipment
When GPR/WPR is part of a combined equipment refer to the guidelines set out in TR 102 070-2 [4].
6 General conditions
6.1 Radiated measurement arrangements
Detailed descriptions of the radiated measurement arrangements are included in annex A. In general, measurements
shall be carried out under far field conditions. The far field condition for the EUTs is considered to be fulfilled in a
2
minimum radial distance "X" that shall be a minimum of 2d /λ , where d = largest dimension of the antenna aperture of
the EUT, for a single device measurement.
Absolute power measurements shall be made using an appropriate method to ensure that the wave front is properly
formed (i.e. operating in far field conditions). The test site shall meet the appropriate requirements as defined in
published guidelines/standards.
It may not be possible to measure at the power limits without low-noise amplification to reduce the overall noise figure
of the overall measurement system at a separation of approximately 3 meters in an RF quite environment. A lower
separation distance may be required since the instrumentation noise floor should be at least 10 dB above the limit within
the instrument bandwidth.
6.2 Measuring receiver
The term measuring receiver refers to a spectrum analyser. The reference bandwidth of the measuring receiver as
defined in CISPR 16-1 [1] shall be as given in table 1.
Table 1: Reference bandwidth of measuring receiver
Frequency being measured: f Spectrum analyser bandwidth (3 dB)
30 MHz ≤ f < 1 000 MHz 100 kHz
1 000 MHz ≤ f 1 MHz

 9 ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.2.1 (2008-02)
The performance of the equipment to be tested shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment, the present document contains instructions for the
presentation of equipment for testing purposes (clause 5), conditions of testing (clause 6) and the measurement methods
(clause 8).
Equipment shall be offered by the provider complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing. The provider
shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operation conditions and power requirements, as applicable, in order
to establish the appropriate test conditions.
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with that combination of features considered to be the most complex, as
proposed by the provider and agreed by the test laboratory.
In addition, when a device has the capability of using different imaging heads, each one shall be tested independently.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
The equipment submitted by the provider shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good
engineering practice and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
Transmitters and receivers may be individual or combination units.
4.3 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary test signal sources and set-up information shall accompany the equipment when it is submitted for testing.
4.4 General requirements for RF cables
Due to the low power levels involved in the measurements, all RF cables including their connectors at both ends used
within the measurement arrangements and set-ups shall be of coaxial type featuring within the frequency range they are
used:
• a nominal characteristic impedance of 50 Ω;
• a VSWR of less than 1,2 at either end;
• a shielding loss in excess of 60 dB.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be made under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.4.
5.2 External test power source
During tests the power source of the equipment shall be an external test power source, capable of producing normal and
extreme test voltages. The internal impedance of the external test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the
test results to be negligible.

The test voltage shall be measured at the point of connection of the power cable to the equipment.
During tests the external test power source voltages shall be within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the
beginning of each test. The level of this tolerance can be critical for certain measurements. Using a smaller tolerance
provides a reduced uncertainty level for these measurements.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient temperature
and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.
5.3.2 Normal test power source
The internal impedance of the test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible.
For the purpose of the tests, the voltage of the external test power source shall be measured at the input terminals of the
equipment.
5.3.2.1 Regulated lead-acid battery power source
The normal test voltage for equipment shall be a regulated lead-acid battery power source. For the purpose of the
present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the
equipment was designed.
When the radio equipment is intended for operation with the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source,
the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (e.g. 6 V, 12 V, etc.).
5.3.2.2 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the provider. Such values shall be stated in the test report.
5.4 Extreme test conditions
5.4.1 Extreme temperatures
5.4.1.1 Procedure for tests at extreme temperatures
Before measurements are made the equipment shall have reached thermal balance in the test chamber. The equipment
shall not be switched off during the temperature stabilizing period.
If the thermal balance is not checked by measurements, a temperature stabilizing period of at least one hour, or such
period as may be decided by the test laboratory, shall be allowed. The sequence of measurements shall be chosen, and
the humidity content in the test chamber shall be controlled so that excessive condensation does not occur.

For equipment using other power sources, or capable of being operated from a variety of power sources, the extreme
test voltages shall be that declared by the provider. These shall be recorded in the test report.
5.5 Combined equipment
When GPR/WPR is part of a combined equipment refer to the guidelines set out in TR 102 070-2 [4].
6 General conditions
6.1 Radiated measurement arrangements
Detailed descriptions of the radiated measurement arrangements are included in annex A. In general, measurements
shall be carried out under far field conditions. The far field condition for the EUTs is considered to be fulfilled in a
2
minimum radial distance "X" that shall be a minimum of 2d /λ , where d = largest dimension of the antenna aperture of
the EUT, for a single device measurement.
Absolute power measurements shall be made using an appropriate method to ensure that the wave front is properly
formed (i.e. operating in far field conditions). The test site shall meet the appropriate requirements as defined in
published guidelines/standards.
It may not be possible to measure at the power limits without low-noise amplification to reduce the overall noise figure
of the overall measurement system at a separation of approximately 3 meters in an RF quite environment. A lower
separation distance may be required since the instrumentation noise floor should be at least 10 dB above the limit within
the instrument bandwidth.
