7 Frequency range Frequency of RADAR technology is in the range of microwaves (500MHz to approx. 300GHz) Radar devices from Endress+Hauser operating with 6GHz, 26GHz and 80GHz acc. to IEEE standard Band UHF L S C X KU K KA V W D Frequency range 0.3 to 1GHz 1 to 2GHz 2 to 4GHz 4 to 8GHz 8 to 12GHz 12 to 18GHz 18 to 27GHz 27 to 40GHz 40 to 75GHz 75 to 110GHz 110 to 300GHz FMR53, FMR54 FMR10, 20 FMR50, 51, 52, 56, 57 Micropilot FMR6x Slide 8

8 Characteristics & benefits of the new frequency The larger the frequency f of a microwave, the smaller the wave length λ: c f c λ f propagation speed / speed of light ( m/s) wave length (meter) frequency (Hertz) The frequency and therefore the wave length are decisive for several properties of a radar device such as e.g. the antenna size or the dimension of process connectors: f 6GHz 26GHz 80GHz λ 50mm 11.5mm 4mm Slide 9

9 Characteristics & benefits of the new frequency ¾ Narrow beam angle & smaller process connections 6GHz 6" antenna beam angle of 23 26GHz 3" antenna beam angle of 10 80GHz 3" antenna beam angle of 3 higher frequency smaller beam smaller antenna sizes & process connections Slide 10

10 Characteristics & benefits of the new frequency Easier selection and commissioning & extended measuring range The small and focused signal beam of 80GHz leads to: Less tank wall effects Less interference with tank obstacles Allows installations in nozzles without antenna extension Installations through ball valves This all results in: Longer measuring ranges are possible and media with lower DC values can be measured since less energy is lost at obstacles The possibility of installations also in demanding tanks or silos with complex geometries, tank obstacles and nozzles Easier commissioning in terms of false echo suppression 6GHz 80GHz Slide 12

11 Time To Move On Application: Dust silo with long nozzle Blast furnace Dust silo Silo height: 8m Previous measurement: optical sensor Test device: FMR67-B2AECAGPA6XCA1+AAEHEJ Challenges: Long nozzle (approx. 2.5m) Ball valve Dust and moisture

12 Time To Move On 18 FMR67 - Feedback after commissioning - Envelope curve X FMR67 Ball valve Empty Silo End of nozzle End of nozzle (2.5m) Ball valve Long nozzle in combination with ball valve No influence on measurement

13 Time To Move On 18 FMR67 - Test results Start-up peaks caused by engine Even with 2.5m nozzle And ball valve Reliable measurement for FMR67 in this challenging application Customer confirms measured level values Brand X has problems in this application Signal jumps to near range Brand X FMR67

14 Characteristics & benefits of the new frequency Signal damping in media with small DCs The larger the frequency, the bigger the signal damping in a medium with small DC value (e.g. in hydrocarbons). Together with the increased range resolution of FMCW, this allows faster separation between level- and obstacle signals. In low DC value media, 80GHz radar provides faster separation between level and tank bottom quick level minimum medium quantities 26GHz 1? 2 1 level 80GHz level tank bottom 2 tank bottom tank bottom 2 tank bottom Same effect by separation between level- and obstacles which are covered by low DC medium Slide 16

15 Characteristics & benefits of the new frequency Solids with small grain sizes In applications with solids, the way microwaves are reflected at sloped surfaces depends on the relation between grain size and wave length: Grain size ~ wave length diffuse reflection signal evaluation possible f 6GHz 26GHz 80GHz λ 50mm 11.5mm 4mm Grain size << wave length specular reflection limited signal evaluation Thanks to the small wave length of 80GHz, media with small grain size can be measured more reliable Slide 17

16 Characteristics & benefits of the new frequency Antenna orientation Small and focused signal beam of 80GHz makes antenna orientation towards tank wall and obstacles obsolete. To minimize effects of tank wall and obstacles of 6 and 26GHz devices, the electromagnetic field of the emitted microwave has to be aligned during installation Thanks to the small signal beam of 80GHz, multi-path propagation is negligible no antenna alignment during installation required 6GHz 80GHz Slide 18

17 Difference in envelope curve shape Micropilot FMR50 DN80 antenna Micropilot FMR62 DN50 PTFE cladded antenna Envelope curve comparison of Pulse and FMCW radar is like trying to compare apples and pears! Slide 19

18 Difference in envelope curve shape Micropilot FMR50 DN80 antenna Micropilot FMR62 DN50 PTFE cladded antenna Compared to FMR5x (6, 26GHz) pulse radars, the envelope curve of FMR6x (80GHz, FMCW) shows differences in: 1) Antenna near field 2) Noise level 3) Signal shape Slide 20

19 Difference in envelope curve shape High pass filter Amplifier Low pass filter A D A D Signal processin g Distance/ level The intermediate frequency (distance information / output of mixer) gets filtered and amplified in order to adapt the input for the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 1) Antenna near field High pass filter to permanently suppress low frequency disturbance signals. As a result, also effect of antenna deposit (e.g. due to condensation or build-up) is reduced 2) Noise level 7-stage adaptive amplifier used to optimize the level signal at different distances. Beside the amplification of the level signal amplitude, the position of the noise level varies slightly 3) Signal shape As a benefit of FMCW radars with large bandwidth (4GHz) the signal shape is sharper compared to a pulse radar s signal with comparable amplitude Summary: Signal curves of a pulse- and FMCW radars are not 1:1 comparable!
