Radar Type (through Air)– How it works

 Radar is a time of flight measurement.

• Microwave energy is transmitted by the radar.

• The microwave energy is reflected off the product surface

• The radar sensor receives the microwave energy.

• The time from transmitting to receiving the microwave energy is

measured.

• The time is converted to a distance measurement and then

eventually a level.

49
Radar Type (through Air) [Contd.]
 Function of an antenna
• Signal focusing
– reduction of the antenna ringing
– optimization of the beam

• Signal amplification
– focusing of the emitted signal
– amplification of the receipt signal

• Signal orientation
– point at the product surface
– minimization of false echo reflections

50
Radar Type (through Air) [Contd.]
• Choice of frequency
Radar wavelength = Speed of light / frequency
l=c / f
• 47.5mm
Frequency 6.3 GHz
wavelength l = 47.5 mm

• 11.5mm

Frequency 26 GHz
wavelength l = 11.5 mm

High frequency: Low frequency:

narrower beam angle wider beam angle

more focused signal less focused signal

ability to measure smaller vessels ability to measure in vessels with

51
Radar Type (through Air) [Contd.]

Radiation Type
• Important Design Considerations
1. Source should be selected so that radiation intensity at detector should
drops to 50% for change in level from 0 to 100%.At the same time intensity
during vessel empty condition should not exceed the safety limit of 2.5
mr/hr.
2. For different detecting devices the radiation intensity should be more than
a. 1,0 mr/hr for Ion chambers.
b. 0.5 mr/hr for GM tubes.
c. 0.1 to 0.2 mr/hr for Scintillation counter.
3. While detection of level , density of the material is considered to be
constant , variation in density can cause errors in measurement.
