Characteristics & benefits of the ‘new’ frequencyXperience the Future in Level Measurement
The larger the frequency f of a microwave, the smaller the wave length λ:
The frequency and therefore the wave length are decisive for several properties of a radar device such as e.g. the antenna size or the dimension of process connectors:

Characteristics & benefits of the ‘new’ frequencyXperience the Future in Level Measurement
The small and focused signal beam of 80GHz leads to:• Less tank wall effects• Less interference with tank obstacles• Allows installations in nozzles without antenna extension • Installations through ball valves
This all results in: → Longer measuring ranges are possible and media with lower
DC values can be measured since less energy is lost at obstacles→ The possibility of installations also in demanding tanks or
silos with complex geometries, tank obstacles and nozzles→ Easier commissioning in terms of false echo suppression
Easier selection and commissioning & extended measuring range

The larger the frequency, the bigger the signal damping in a medium with small DC value (e.g. in hydrocarbons). Together with the increased range resolution of FMCW, this allows faster separation between level- and obstacle signals.
• In low DC value media, 80GHz radar provides faster separation between level and tank bottom quick level detection @ minimum medium quantities
• Same effect by separation between level- and obstacles which are covered by low DC medium

Characteristics & benefits of the ‘new’ frequencyXperience the Future in Level Measurement
In applications with solids, the way microwaves are reflected at sloped surfaces depends on the relation between grain size and wave length:
• Grain size ~ wave length diffuse reflection signal evaluation possible
• Grain size << wave length specular reflection limited signal evaluation
Solids with small grain sizes
f λ
6GHz 50mm
26GHz 11.5mm
80GHz 4mm
Thanks to the small wave length of 80GHz, media with small grain size can be measured more reliable
Slide 17 Jeslyn Wong

Small and focused signal beam of 80GHz makes antenna orientation towards tank wall and obstacles obsolete.
• To minimize effects of tank wall and obstacles of 6 and 26GHz devices, the electromagnetic field of the emitted microwave has to be aligned during installation
• Thanks to the small signal beam of 80GHz, multi-path propagation is negligible no antenna alignment during installation required

Difference in envelope curve shapeXperience the Future in Level Measurement
1) Antenna near fieldHigh pass filter to permanently suppress low frequency disturbance signals. As a result, also effect of antenna deposit (e.g. due to condensation or build-up) is reduced2) Noise level7-stage adaptive amplifier used to optimize the level signal at different distances. Beside the amplification of the level signal amplitude, the position of the noise level varies slightly3) Signal shapeAs a benefit of FMCW radars with large bandwidth (4GHz) the signal shape is sharper compared to a pulse radar’s signal with comparable amplitude
