Radar Level Gauge System and Method with Improved Filling Level Determination
30 Mar 23
A method of determining a filling level of a product in a tank using a radar level gauge system comprising a transceiver, an antenna, and processing circuitry, the method comprising the steps of: generating and transmitting a transmit signal; receiving a reflection signal resulting from reflection of the transmit signal; determining based on the transmit signal and the reflection signal, for each surface echo candidate, a first measure indicative of a distance and a second measure indicating a rate-of-change distribution of the distance; assigning one surface echo candidate as most likely to correspond to single reflection of the transmit signal at the surface of the product, based on an evaluation of the second measure for each surface echo candidate; and determining the filling level based on the first measure for the assigned surface echo candidate.

Radar Level Gauge System and Method with Transmission Line Probe and Stepped Frequency Sweep
2 Mar 23
A method of determining a filling level of a product in a tank, comprising the steps of: generating an electromagnetic transmit signal exhibiting a measurement sweep across a time series of piece-wise constant frequencies being within a measurement frequency range starting at a first frequency, and ending at a second frequency higher than the first frequency, a difference between frequencies in each pair of adjacent frequencies in the frequency range being equal to the first frequency; guiding the transmit signal towards and into the product in the tank; guiding an electromagnetic reflection signal back towards the transceiver; mixing the reflection signal with an electromagnetic reference signal, resulting in a mixer output indicative of a difference between the reflection signal and the reference signal; forming a measurement signal based on the mixer output; and determining the filling level based on the measurement signal.
