  • Patent number: 9863800
    Abstract: A radar level gauge using electromagnetic signals is provided, which includes a connection arrangement for connecting a transmitter receiver circuit board and an antenna unit with one another, with which the horizontal size of the radar level gauge may be reduced and reflection and transmission losses may be suppressed as well. The transmitter receiver circuit board 32 is so disposed in a housing 12 as to extend vertically. The connection arrangement includes a waveguide sequence which is fed at a feed terminal 32a formed on the transmitter receiver circuit board 32 and composed of three waveguides W1 to W3.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2018

  • Patent number: 6928369
    Abstract: The present invention provides a small, low power consumption ultrasonic flow velocity meter. The burst signal generation section 110 generates two kinds of burst signals with a phase difference and sends these burst signals to a pair of transmission/reception ultrasonic transducers 6 and 7 located on the upstream side and downstream side of the conduit to be measured 9. Upon reception of the corresponding burst signals, the pair of the transmission/reception ultrasonic transducers 6 and 7 convert the burst signals, send ultrasonic waves with a phase difference to the conduit to be measured 9, receive the ultrasonic wave sent by the other transmission/reception ultrasonic transducer and propagated through the conduit to be measured and convert the ultrasonic waves to received signals.
