Abstract

A method of level finding includes providing characteristics of a shape of a transmitted pulse in time domain launched onto a waveguide into a tank having at least one material therein, physical properties of the waveguide and real and imaginary dielectric characteristics of the material at a frequency of the pulse. A level finding algorithm having a coarse search and a fine search is implemented, where the coarse search minimizes a prediction error between an echo signal (echo curve y(k)) and a sampled pulse model echo p(k) to obtain an objective function J(k) in a vicinity of a minimum prediction error (k*). The fine search calculates at least one minimum or maximum using J(k) in the vicinity of k*. The minimum or the maximum corresponds to a level of the material or an interface involving the material.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 058,358, filed October 1, 2014, entitled "TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETRY (TDR) SIGNAL PROCESSING," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The disclosed embodiments relate to level finding using time domain reflectometry (TDR) and level gauges and systems thereby. Background technique [0004] Level measurement techniques include ultrasound and radar, which is usually guided wave radar (GWR). Newer level measuring devices are TDR based which utilize sound or echo based measurements, either ultrasound or GWR. GWR is contact radar technology which uses the time TDR principle to measure the level of liquids or solids in tanks. [0005] GWRs work by generating a pulsed stream of electromagnetic energy and propagating the transmitted pulse down a transmission line formed in a level sensing probe. The detect...
