Page 8: Principle Of Operation
The sensor emits a radar signal through the antenna. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received as an echo by the antenna. The resulting level is converted into a respective output signal and wirelessly transmitted. VEGAPULS Air 23 • Autarkic device with measured value transmission via radio technology... -
