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.
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.
Technical Description 501026En, Ed. 3, Rev E TankRadar Pro July 2007 Parabolic antenna The parabolic antenna is suitable for both liquid and mm (inch) 200 (7.87) solid applications. As it has the largest diameter it has the most narrow radar beam and can be used for extremely long measuring distances.
Technical Description 501026En, Ed. 3, Rev E TankRadar Pro July 2007 Still-pipe Array antenna The Still-pipe Array Antenna with its small-sized antenna is designed for mounting on existing still- pipes. Typical applications are crude oil tanks with floating roofs and gasoline/product tanks with or without inner floating roofs.
Technical Description 501026En, Ed. 3, Rev E TankRadar Pro July 2007 Process seal antenna The dish made of PTFE or ceramics seals off the cone shaped antenna from the tank atmosphere. This combines the benefits of using a cone antenna with the advantage of only exposing material suitable for hygienic or corrosive applications.
