A Study on the Development of Level Sensor using Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave
주파수 변조 연속파를 이용한 레벨 센서 개발에 관한 연구
Abstract
In this paper, it is presented a level sensor for measuring a level of the contents of cargo tank using frequency modulated continuous wave(FMCW). The frequency range is 10∼11 GHz, the radar cross section(RCS) of target is 0.8 ㎡ of metal plate. the experiment is performed in laboratory and open ground, the sweep time of the signal is 100 ms, the pyramidal horn antenna of about 20 dBi gain is used, and input power of antenna is about 5 dBm. the beat frequency according to the target moving to 40 m is measured. There is a good agreement between measured and calculated results. But the resolution of the FMCW radar is measured about 10 cm due to nonlinear of voltage controlled oscillator(VCO).
