Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a level gauge, in particular to a 120GHz frequency modulation continuous wave radar level gauge. Background technique [0002] In the implementation process of industrial process control and factory automation, it is very important to be able to measure the height of material level stably and reliably. Radar level gauges are rapidly gaining popularity due to their non-contact, accurate measurement, and easy maintenance. [0003] There are two types of radar level gauges: pulse radar level gauge and frequency modulation radar level gauge: [0004] One is the pulse radar level gauge, which calculates the target distance by measuring the time difference between sending and receiving microwave pulses. When the target distance is only a few meters, the time difference between sending microwave pulses and reflecting microwave pulses is only a few nanoseconds, and time expansion technology must be used The time difference of the nan...
