Abstract :
Ten years ago, microwave radar was not a practical solution to the problem of process level measurement. Recent advances in microwave technology have overcome the major obstacles of cost and measurement reliability, making microwave radar a more desirable solution for process level measurement. Industrial process level measurement provides some unique problems that microwave radar can overcome.
