Dinghua Radar Knowledge Lecture: What exactly does the antenna of a radar level gauge do?

Thread Content

Among the many articles on radar level gauges, there is only a brief mention of the antenna: it has been further optimized, and new fast microprocessors enable faster signal analysis, allowing the instrument to be used for measurements in various environments. Don’t understand what it means? Don’t worry; in this article we will explain in simple terms what exactly the antenna of a radar level gauge is used for The antennas of radar level gauges can be divided into contact and non-contact types; however, in both cases, their function is to serve as a medium for transmitting and receiving pulses. The pulse signals from the main board are sent out accurately through these antennas, and the information that is reflected back is quickly received by them before being sent to the main board where it is processed into digital data. Installed inside the container, performing hard work at the front line. Therefore, the material used to make the antenna is very important; this is why it is said that the quality of the antenna can determine the operating environment of the device. Different antenna usage environments vary greatly. https://nwzimg.wezhan.cn/contents/sitefiles2057/10285453/images/40329159.png Contact-type radar level gauge https://nwzimg.wezhan.cn/contents/sitefiles2057/10285453/images/40329158.png Non-contact radar level gauge https://nwzimg.wezhan.cn/contents/sitefiles2057/10285453/images/39880553.png G80 radar level gauge – equipped with a stainless steel horn antenna; it is suitable for use in environments that are relatively clean and free from volatile substances. Equipped with an extension tube and a heat dissipation tube, it can be used in ultra-high temperature conditions (such as molten steel). It is particularly suitable for use in the charging areas of converters and blast furnaces in the metallurgical industry, as well as in raw material storage tanks. In situations where there is a high level of dust at the site and moisture is present in the mineral powder, it is advisable to use high-frequency radar level gauges.
