Types of Radar Level Transmitters and Their Advantages
The RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) technology works by detecting the presence of distant objects by receiving a reflection of electromagnetic waves emitted by the RADAR device itself. It was widely used by the British during the Second World War to detect German bombers from far away. The RADAR technology was initially used for military purposes and weather forecasting, but now it is also used for industrial applications. Radar level transmitters are used for commercial and industrial applications to measure the level of liquids and solids. A radar level transmitter uses radio or electromagnetic waves of very high frequency in the gigahertz range. Guided wave and non-contact type radar transmitters are two types of radar level transmitters that are commonly found in industrial facilities. In this blog, we are going to explain the working of both of these transmitters. Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter The working principle of a guided wave radar level transmitter is based on t...
