Problems solved by technology

[0003] The known two-wire control (Two Wires Control, 4-20 mA transmission) of the radar level gauge has the disadvantage that the update rate is too slow
The known two-wire radar level gauge is limited by the high-energy excitation pulse wave requirements and the 4-20mA must be maintained at low power consumption requirements, and cannot achieve a fast data update speed. Therefore, for the position of the measured substance ( Level) response to changes in the output is slower

Abstract

Disclosed are a radar level meter and a method for processing signals thereof. The radar level meter is provided with a micro control unit architecture, the architecture comprises a high-speed microprocessor, a low-speed microprocessor and a power charging and discharging circuit, and requirements on low power consumption and high update rate can be met. The method for processing the signals is a method for modulating the signals of the frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar level meter, and includes generating a high-frequency beat signal and feeding the high-frequency beat signal into a down-conversion mixer; converting the high-frequency signal into an intermediate-frequency periodic signal; converting the intermediate-frequency periodic signals into spectrum characteristics via fast Fourier transfer to obtain an FFT (fast Fourier transfer) signal; performing digital filtering transfer for the FFT signal for at least once to obtain final frequency characteristics; and finally acquiring the level distance by a physical value conversion program to obtain a high-precision distance relation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a radar level gauge and a signal processing method thereof, in particular to a signal modulation method for a frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) radar level gauge. Background technique [0002] In Process Automation, the measurement of the substance content of solids, liquids or their mixtures is generally called Level Sensor. Radar level gauge is a kind of Level Sensor. The frequency of general radar level gauge is about 3GHz-80GHz. The radar level gauge usually transmits the signal (Transmitting Signal) through the antenna (Antenna), generally it can be a hole wave (Hone), a rod wave (Rod), a spherical wave (Spherical), a plane wave (planar type) and other direct non-contact Launched to the surface of the substance to be measured; it can also be connected to the target through a waveguide, such as rod, cable, wire or rope as signal conduction. [0003] The known two-wire control (Two Wires Control, 4-20 mA tran...
