  • Page 94: Technical Data

    TECHNICAL DATA OPTIWAVE 6300 C 8.1 Measuring principle A radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected from the product surface and received after a time t. The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave). The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep).
