Guided wave radar represents the standard for accurate, reliable level measurement, says Magnetrol, but not all GWR transmitters are equal.
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a critical performance indicator – and the Eclipse Model 706 features an innovative (patent-pending) design concept (called Diode Switched Front End) that can dramatically reduce the impact of noise and increase overall GWR transmitter performance, adds the company.
This new circuit design completely isolates the transmit path from the receive path, thereby maximising receiver sensitivity and impedance matching.
While many GWR options on the market today promote the amplitude (size) of transmitted radar pulse, Magnetrol says a far more important parameter for reliable level measurement in difficult applications is the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
