80GHz Radar vs. 26GHz Radar
80GHz Radar vs. 26GHz Radar Non-contact level radar is widely used, but most radar type is restricted to 26 GHz. Due to its frequency and signal strength, 26GHz reflects poorly from some liquids, as well as many solids, which reduces accuracy. Meanwhile, the beam angle and antenna size (often come with a large horn structure) limit its ability to deal with application with foam, condensation, especially in some small, tall, narrow vessels, or spurious reflections from mounting fittings, tank walls, baffles, heaters. 26GHz Radar 80GHz Radar Common Frequency K-band 26GHz W-band 80GHz Beam Angle >10° >3° Accuracy ±5mm ±2mm/±1mm Antenna Type Horn PTFE Lens Antenna size Installation http://www.skgauge.com jilina@skgauge.com
