    Chapter 2. General Information 2.4 Explanation of Terms Attenuation Weakening of microwave signals, microwaves measuring effect. Evaluation Unit Factory setting In the factory setting all parameters have been set to default values. In most cases this considerably facilitates the calibra- tion of the instrument.

  • Page 17: Chapter 3. System Description

    Chapter 3. System Description Chapter 3. System Description 3.1 Principle of Measurement As the microwaves pass through the product, their propagation velocity is slowed down (= phase shift) and their intensity is at- tenuated (= attenuation). Figure 3-1 illustrates the principle of measurement: Compared to a reference signal, the propagation velocity of microwaves passing through the product is slowed down (phase shift) and their intensity (attenuation) is reduced.

  • Page 18: Calculation Of Measured Values

    Chapter 3. System Description 3.2 Calculation of Measured Values The microwave parameters phase and attenuation are calibrat- ed according to an automatic plausibility analysis. During calibration, the phase and/or attenuation of a concentra- tion value (or density value) are assigned through sampling. The calibration is done automatically and the sampling process is supported by the evaluation unit.

  • Page 19: Temperature Compensation

    Chapter 3. System Description Conductive materials such as graphite or coke cannot be trans- mitted by microwaves. Metal walls can also not be transmitted by microwaves. Compensation In addition to the water content, the product temperature, product density and a varying material load (varying microwave irradiation path) may have an influence on the phase and at- tenuation.

  • Page 20: Throughput Calculation And Output

    Chapter 3. System Description 3.4 Throughput Calculation and Output For pipeline applications, the LB 566 allows you to calculate the throughput (mass flow) and to output the result via a current output. The calculation is based on the microwave measured value; if this value correlates with the product density, one can calculate the throughput, if some additional information is available.

  • Page 30: High-Frequency Cable

    Chapter 3. System Description 3.5.5 High-frequency Cable High-frequency cables (HF cable) are used to transmit micro- wave signals. HF cables change their conductivity (for microwaves) with tem- perature and would therefore produce measurement errors with varying ambient temperature. This error is compensated for by enabling the automatic cable compensation.
