BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF GUIDED WAVE RADAR LEVEL TRANSMITTER

Product Description

Working principle
Guided wave radar transmitter works on the principle of time and travel (TDR). Radar wave
travels at the velocity of light. The flying time is converted into level signal via the electronic
components. The probe emits high frequency wave pulse which travels along a cable probe
or a rod probe. When the wave pulse reaches the medium surface, it will be reflected and
received by the receiver, and then the distance signal will be converted into level signals.

Input
The reflected wave pulse travels back along the
cable and arrives at the electronic unit. The
microprocessor will process the signals and
recognize the returned waves from medium
surface. The identification of correct return wave
signals can be done by the intelligent software. The
distance D from the medium surface is proportional to the
travel time: D=C X T/2 (C is velocity of light)
Due to the empty tank distance D is known, and then the level L is: L=E-D

Output
By setting of empty tank height E as zero point, the height of full tank F as full range point, and
other applicable parameter, the instrument will adapt into the working environment
automatically and correspond to output 4-20mA.

Measuring range F----measuring range


E----distance of empty tank
B----dead zone on the top
K----min. distance between probe and tank wall
Dead zone at top refers to the min. distance between the
highest medium position and the measuring reference
position (point).

Page No.2
Dead zone at bottom refers to the distance which cannot be measured accurately nearby the
bottom of the cable.
The distance between the dead zone at the top and the dead zone at the bottom is the effective
measuring distance.
Note:
Level measurement in a tank can be effectively performed only when the medium level within the
top dead zone and the bottom dead zone.
