    摘要: A method of level finding includes providing characteristics of a shape of a transmitted pulse in time domain launched onto a waveguide into a tank having at least one material therein, physical properties of the waveguide and real and imaginary dielectric characteristics of the material at a frequency of the pulse. A level finding algorithm having a coarse search and a fine search is implemented, where the coarse search minimizes a prediction error between an echo signal (echo curve y(k)) and a sampled pulse model echo p(k) to obtain an objective function J(k) in a vicinity of a minimum prediction error (k*). The fine search calculates at least one minimum or maximum using J(k) in the vicinity of k*. The minimum or the maximum corresponds to a level of the material or an interface involving the material.

    摘要: A method of pulsed radar level sensing. First level scanning performed with first transmitted radar pulses launched by a probe into a tank having a first pulse width, wherein the first level scanning is over a first scan distance. First echoes generated responsive to the first pulses are analyzed to determine an approximate level of a material in the tank.

A feed-through (3) is for connecting to a coaxial cable or other transmission line connector (2) that includes an inner conductor which connects to an output of a transceiver (1) and an outer conductor that connects to an outer metal sleeve. A subwavelength coaxial transmission line (CTL) (5) having a length from λ/5 to λ/2 is coupled to the feed-through including an inner conductor connected to the inner conductor of the feed-through and an outer conductor connected to the outer metal sleeve. A mode converter (MC) (6) having a plurality of metal fingers (7) of length 2 λ ± twenty percent is connected to the outer conductor of the subwavelength CTL, where the MC includes a dielectric coating (58) on its inner conductor connected to the inner conductor of the subwavelength CTL.
