Microwave level measurement

Endress+Hauser has launched performance enhancements to its range of free-to-air microwave devices.

Historically, it has been a challenge to implement low-cost, reliable time-of-flight microwave level measurement solutions for difficult applications due to the interferences of splashing, foam and steam in liquids and irregular product surfaces and dust in the measuring process in solids.

Pulsemaster eXact technology is claimed will boost the performance capabilities of radar (microwave) level measuring devices across the range for tough applications, while allowing entry-level radar-based instruments to rival their high-end competitors at no additional cost.

Pulsemaster eXact incorporates an Advanced Dynamics 26 GHz high-frequency module with intelligence added to Pulsemaster algorithms. These enhancements create stronger reflected signals and more advanced filtering analysis which improves the accuracy and reliability of the level readings.

By turbocharging its lower-end level measuring Micropilots, Endress+Hauser now offers users of traditional ultrasonic level devices far more sophisticated microwave devices in the same price range. The Pulsemaster eXact technology is also available as a retrofit enhancement to earlier Micropilot models.
