3.2 Principle of operation
VEGAPULS 64 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of
liquids.
Specialadvantagesresultfromthesmallprocessttingsforsmall
tanks and the very good focussing in applications in large tanks.
This is made possible by the sensor's functional principle: 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.
