8.1 Measuring principle
A radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected on the product surface and received after a
time t. The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave).
The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during
the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected on the
measuring surface and received with a time delay, t. Delay time, t=2d/c, where d is the distance
to the product surface and c is the speed of light in the gas above the product.
For further signal processing the difference Δf is calculated from the actual transmit frequency
and the receive frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance. A large
frequency difference corresponds to a large distance and vice versa. The frequency difference Δf
is transformed via a Fourier transformation (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and then the
distance is calculated from the spectrum. The level results from the difference between tank
height and measuring distance.

Dead zone Non-measurement zone.
Dielectric constant An electrical property of the product to be measured used in Radar
measurement. Also known as εr, DK and relative permittivity. Defines the
strength of the wave reflected back to the device's signal converter.
Distance The distance from the face of flange to the level (1 product) or the surface
of the top product (2 or more products). See the diagrams at the end of this
section.
Drop antenna A new generation of antenna made of PP or PTFE. It has an ellipsoidal
shape for a more precise emission of radar signals.
DTM Device Type Manager. A driver for use in the PACTware™ program. All data
and functions of the device are included in it.
Electromagnetic compatibility Defines how much a device influences or is influenced by other devices that
generate electromagnetic fields during operation. Refer to European
standard EN 61326-1 for further details.
FMCW Frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar technology. The signal is
continuously present, but the frequency is modulated, usually in
successive linear ramps over time (frequency sweeps).
Horn (cone) antenna A common antenna for most applications. It is used for the controlled
emission and collection of radar signals.
Hazardous area An area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Trained personnel can
install and use a device in this area. The device must be ordered with the
appropriate options. The device requires approvals (ATEX, IEC Ex, FM, CSA,
NEPSI etc.) related to site specifications. You can find more data about
hazardous areas in the Ex Manuals and Ex Certificates of Compliance.
Interference signals False radar reflections.
Level Height from the bottom of the silo (user-defined) to the surface of the top
product (Tank height – distance). See the diagrams at the end of this
section.

Mass Total mass of silo contents.
Operators Users who can choose how to display measurements. They cannot
configure the device in supervisor mode.
PACTware™ Software that operates and configures field devices from a remote
workstation. It is not necessary to use fieldbus software or programs
developed by the manufacturer.
Radar reflection Signal reflected from the surface of the silo contents.
Signal converter A set of electronic components in the device that send the reflected
measurement pulse through some signal filters. They identify and
measure the level of the silo contents.
Supervisor Users who can configure the device in supervisor mode. They cannot
configure the device in service mode.
TBF Tank Bottom Following (TBF) mode is an alternative measurement mode. It
allows the device to measure silo contents with low dielectric constants.
TBF mode uses the reflection of the silo bottom to indirectly measure the
level of the silo contents.
Ullage volume Unfilled volume. See the diagrams at the end of this section.
Volume Total volume of silo contents.
Waveguide A PTFE component that is used to guide the emitted radar waves correctly
into the horn antenna.
