ProScan ® 3 Series
Continuous Radar Level Sensor (80GHz)

Working Principle

The ProScan® 3 (80GHz) radar is a transmitter
for continuous level measurements using fast
sweep Frequency Modulated Continuous
Wave (FMCW) technology. The transducer of
radar continuously emits signal sweeps with
a constant frequency towards the liquid
surface. The reflected signal is then captured
by the transducer. The time to send and
receive is known as the time of flight.
