ProScan® 3 Series Continuous Radar Level Sensor (80GHz)

W orking Principle
The ProScan® 3 (80GHz) radar is a transmitter for continuous level measurements using fast sweep Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology. The transducer of radar continuously emits signal sweeps with a constant frequency towards the liquid surface. The reflected signal is then captured by the transducer. The time to send and receive is known as the time of flight.
