Unaffected by temperature and pressure

The propagation of microwaves is virtually unaffected by the ambient temperature and pressure. Hence these radar sensors are ideal for use under extremely difficult process conditions. Pressures from vacuum up to 160 bar(2320 psi) and temperatures from – 40 … +400 째C (-40 … +752 째F) are no problem for radar.

Independent of product characteristics

Fluctuations in product composition or even complete product changes do not influence the measuring result. A fresh adjustment is not necessary.

Frequency ranges for all applications

AMPLETECH radar sensors are available in two different frequency ranges and can thus be implemented in a wide variety of applications. K-band instruments work in a frequency range over 20 GHz. This enables the use of very small antennas and respectively compact process fittings. Due to strong signal focusing, the measuring system achieves high accuracy. C-band instruments are characterized by low frequencies around 6 GHz. Thus, in most cases, buildup and dirt on the antenna system or foam on the product surface do not affect the measurement.
