3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGAPULS 69 is a radar sensor for continuous level measure-
mentofbulksolidsevenunderthemostdicultprocessconditions
and in very large measuring ranges.
Itisidealforuseinhigh,slendersiloswithpoorlyreectingbulksolids
suchasy-ash,plasticgranulesorwoodchipsaswellasinternal
installations that cause strong false echoes. This is made possible by
its functional principle, a distance measurement through frequency
shifting with an especially small beam angle.
Theinstrumentisavailablewithdierentantennasystemsandacces-
sories for virtually all applications and processes:
Plastic horn antenna or metal-jacketed lens antenna
Optional or integrated rinsing air connection
Swivelling holder with seal against the process
The instrument emits a continuous radar signal through its antenna.
This signal is frequency modulated in the form of a sawtooth wave.
Theemittedsignalisreectedbythemediumandreceivedbythe
antenna as an echo.
The frequency of the received signal always deviates from the actual
emittingfrequency.Thefrequencydierenceisproportionaltothe
distanceandthustothellingheight.Thisdierenceiscalculated
