  • Page 6: Features

    This method is called FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) and is used in all high performance radar gauges. TankRadar Pro uses the 10 GHz frequency band to get optimum balance between beamwidth and sensitivity to antenna contamination. The FMCW method is based on a radar sweep with continuous changes in frequency.

    ± 5 mm (± 0.2 in.). For high accuracy tank gauging applications, Platinum • Multiple Echo Tracking (MET™) is the best TankRadar Pro choice. It includes the Improves the resolution and accuracy in echo disturbed FHAST™ software and selected hardware for regions and close to the tank bottom.
  • Page 9: Antenna Versions

    The thin antenna plate prevents the flange from exposure to the tank environment. TankRadar Pro can be equipped with different antennas to fulfill various requirements. The tank connection, including antenna, is the only part exposed to the tank atmosphere. The cone antenna is most commonly used.
