Abstract
Disclosed are devices and processes for detecting an underground non-metallic pipe. An electrostatic detection device may characterize and/or measure at least one parameter of a non-metallic pipe based, at least in part, on a difference between a measurement of a strength of a first RF signal and measurement of a strength of a second RF signal.
Claims14
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more radio frequency receivers;
- and
- one or more processors to:
- obtain a measurement of a strength of an ambient radio frequency signal received at one or more antennas and processed at the one or more radio frequency receivers;
- obtain a measurement of a strength of a radio frequency signal emitted from at least a portion of ground received at the one or more antennas and processed at the one or more radio frequency receivers;
- and
- detect a presence of one or more underground non-metallic pipes based, at least in part, on the measurement of the strength of the ambient radio frequency signal and the measurement of the strength of the radio frequency signal emitted from the ground.
