Liquid Level Sensing with Pulsar Pulse Burst Radar EVOLUTION. Practical radar instrumentation, first developed by defense initiatives of WWII, has grown to than frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW). Pulse Burst Radar operates in the time domain and does not require complex and expensive processing required to enable FMCW. Because echoes are discrete ters. Today, radar and separated in time, Pulse Burst Radar is better able to sort through extraneous echoes and select the one tions that range from generated by true level. Pulse Burst Radar also has excellent averaging characteristics,...

ETS captures the EM signals in real time (nanoseconds) other background noise through its sophisticated signal and reconstructs them in equivalent time (milliseconds), processing capabilities. Pulsar circuitry is extremely which is much easier to measure with today’s technology. energy efficient, so no duty cycling is necessary to ETS is accomplished by scanning the waveguide to accomplish effective measurement. For this reason, collect thousands of samples. The round trip event on a Pulsar can also track high rates of change that have 65 foot (20 meter) tank takes only 133 nanoseconds in...

Both types tolerate maximum process corrosive attack due to aggressive chemi- cals. The greater the measuring range, the more does radar prove itself to be antennas will measure dielectric media as the economical solution, given the cost low as 1.7, while the minimum dielectric of extended probe lengths. for rod types is 2.0.
