  • Patent number: 10295391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a frequency generator for generating two pulse repetition frequency signals with slightly different frequencies for a radar measuring device. The frequency generator comprises an oscillator, which generates an oscillator signal, a first signal path for generating a first pulse repetition frequency signal from the oscillator signal, and a second signal path for generating a second pulse repetition frequency signal from the oscillator signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6486826
    Abstract: An arrangement for the precise measuring of the distance with a FMCW radar device having a frequency-variable digitally-actuated oscillator to generate a transmitting frequency which can be tuned over a predetermined frequency range. The digital actuation involves the use of a digital frequency generator which derives in predetermined frequency steps a references signal from a fixed-frequency oscillator signal. The frequency of the frequency-variable oscillator is adjusted in a phase-locked loop linking it to the references signal.

  • Patent number: 6107957
    Abstract: A FMCW radar tank level gauge (14) that measures a level (13) in a tank (10) by obtaining a set of phase shift data points of mixed transmitted waves and received waves. The set of spectral data phase shift values has a received target marker indicating the level. An adaptive set of masking threshold phase shift values corresponding to at least a portion of the spectral data phase shift values are calculated. The adaptive set of masking threshold values are compared with the corresponding spectral data values to identify at least one spectral data value associated with the level. The level of the tank is calculated from at least one spectral data value and the level of the tank is reported.
