  • Patent number: 6995706
    Abstract: A method, an arrangement and a radar level gauging system for preventing interference, which radar level gauging system comprises at least two radar level gauges arranged to measure a filling level of a product kept in a container. Microwave pulses are transmitted towards the surface of said product and microwave pulses reflected by said surface are received by said at least two radar level gauges. Information is provided with said microwave pulses and said information is used for controlling the measurement pulses of said at least two radar level gauges.

  • Publication number: 20060000274
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radar level measuring device for non-contact measurement of a level of a product in a container. The device comprises a flange which is mounted on the container in such a way that a lead-through of the flange at least partly covers an opening in the container. The device further comprises a waveguide part, insertable into the flange. When inserted, the insertable waveguide part is arranged to come to a stop at a distance (D) from the surface of the flange intended to face the container, along which distance (D), a waveguide is formed, forming a continuous waveguide together with the insertable waveguide part when inserted.

  • Patent number: 6950055
    Abstract: There is provided a radar level gauge using microwaves for measuring a level of a surface of a product in a tank, comprising an antenna for transmitting microwaves to the surface and receiving microwaves reflected by the surface, a measurement circuitry feeding said antenna through a hollow wave guide and said wave guide including at least an antenna wave guide member, at one end couplable to the antenna and at its other end having an opening in an intersection across the wave guide, wherein the radar level gauge further comprises: a dielectric barrier extending along said intersection across the opening of said antenna wave guide member for non-conductively separating said antenna wave guide member from the measurement circuitry, said dielectric barrier having a first side facing the wave guide in a direction towards the antenna wave guide member and said dielectric barrier having a second side facing a direction substantially away from said antenna wave guide member.

  • Patent number: 6859187
    Abstract: The present invention relate to a horn antenna at a radar level gauge for determination of a level of a surface of a medium stored in a tank and a method of making a horn antenna which is mechanically constituted such that the horn antenna will withstand the environment of the tank interior. The antenna comprises a first conductive housing (7) having a wave guide port (8), which is connectable to a wave guide, a first aperture (10), which is separated from the wave guide port (8) and a fist divergent section between the wave guide port (8) and the first aperture (10). A dielectric body (11) is arranged inside and essentially filling the first conductive housing (7), which body (11) displays a free end (12) in the area of the first aperture (10).

  • Patent number: 6278411
    Abstract: A horn antenna for transmitting microwaves. A conical horn includes a small opening and a large opening. A transition piece includes a tapering portion and a non-tapering portion. The transition piece is arranged in the conical horn between a waveguide and an environment that the horn antenna is arranged in. A transition between the tapering portion and the non-tapering portion is arranged between the small opening and the large opening of the conical horn. The non-tapering portion engages the small opening of the conical horn.
