In the past two decades Brillouin-based sensors have emerged as a newly-developed optical fiber sensing technology for distributed temperature The level results from the difference between tank height and measuring distance. TDR: Time Domain Reflectometry The device transmits low-intensity electromagnetic pulses of approximately one nanosecond width along a rigid or flexible conductor. These pulses move at the speed of light.

TDR200: Time-Domain Reflectometer

The time domain reflectometry (TDR) method is the most established and widely used measuring method for the determination of: the total length of a cable the Guided wave radar sensors utilize time domain reflectometry (TDR) to continuously measure the distance, level, and volume of powders, solids, or liquids. The transmitter emits a high frequency microwave pulse guided along the cable. When the pulse reaches the material surface, the pulse energy is reflected up to the sensor head.

Abstract A time domain reflectometry (TDR)-based system for the localization of water leaks has been recently developed by the authors. This system, which employs wire-like sensing elements to be installed along the underground pipes, has proven immune to the limitations that affect the traditional, acoustic leak-detection systems. The material whose level will be detected is inserted between reciprocally placed light source and photodetector and cuts off the light in classical optoelectronic level detection methods. But for liquids, applications of these methods are limited with optical properties of the liquid, e.g. the level of any transparent liquid cannot be detected by reciprocally placed LED Detector® sensors use Micropower Impulse Radar (MIR), or Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), to measure the distance to the surface of the tank contents and output a 4-20 mA signal proportional to liquid level. Detector sensors pulse microwaves every 2 µsec and capture fresh readings every 310 milliseconds. Resolution and repeatability are 0.01″ with a

A guided wave radar sensor is a type of radar level sensor there are two types of radar level sensors they are through the air and guided type.

The application of time domain reflectometry in liquid level monitoring is relatively recent and most promising due to the achievement of very high levels of accuracy and repeatability and to the substantial advantages over traditional sensors used for level sensing. ABSTRACT: In the radar level measurement instruments, the electromagnetic signal travel through air. Once it touches the material under test, it gets reflected back to the input end. The reflection of electromagnetic signal depends on electric and dielectric properties of material. Guided Wave Radar (GWR) meter isbased on the Time Domain Reflectrometry (TDR) principle

The application of time domain reflectometry in liquid level monitoring is relatively recent and most promising due to the achievement of very high levels of accuracy and repeatability and to the substantial advantages over traditional sensors used for level sensing. How it works Guided wave radar level measurement comes from time domain reflectometry. This technology has allowed people to find breaks in underground or in-wall cables for decades.
