3 .2 Principle of operation
The VEGAPULS 67 is particularly suitable for measurement of bulk
solids in silos with up to 15 m height.
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes. The running time of the radar
pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level. The determined level is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.
