  • Publication number: 20190078927
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sensor includes a transmission/reception device and a processing device. The transmission/reception device is configured to emit a pulse wave having a first frequency toward liquid in a container, to receive a reflection wave of the pulse wave, and to output a first signal. The container includes a part in contact with the liquid. The processing device is capable of outputting strength of a first frequency reflection wave of a first frequency band contained in a second signal and strength of a second frequency reflection wave of a second frequency band contained in a third signal. The third signal is obtained by squaring the second signal. The second signal is obtained by subtracting a fourth signal from the first signal. The fourth signal is obtained by integrating the first signal. The first frequency band includes the first frequency.
