Radar Sensor

An 80 GHz radar sensor is a radar device that operates at a frequency of 80 gigahertz (GHz) and is used to measure the level of liquids and solids in tanks, bins, and silos. 80 GHz radar sensors are based on Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology and have several advantages over other radar sensors, including:  

• Smaller wavelength: 80 GHz radar has a smaller wavelength than 24 GHz radar, allowing it to detect a higher resolution level.  

• Better detection accuracy: 80 GHz radar has better detection accuracy than other radar sensors.  

• Longer detection range: 80 GHz radar has a longer detection range than other radar sensors.  

• Can penetrate dust, steam, or foam: 80 GHz radar can penetrate through dust, steam, or foam.  

• Focused beam: 80 GHz radar has a highly focused beam with a smaller diameter than lower frequency radars.  

• Small dead zone: 80 GHz radar has a small dead zone and narrow beam angle.  

• Compact antenna design: 80 GHz radar has a compact antenna design which leads to an improved signal focus. 

80 GHz radar sensors are typically used for applications where the material being measured is less reflective, such as granular or bulk materials
