Measurement Principle:
The Pulsar Radar transmitter is based on pulse burst radar technology together with equivalent time sampling circuitry. Short bursts of 5.8 or 6.3 GHz microwave energy are emittedsubsequently reflected from the liquid level surface. Distance is calculated by the equation D = Transit time round-trip/2. Liquid level is then calculated by applying the tank height value.
