Radar Level Gauge 80G and 26G

The difference between an 80GHz radar level meter and a 26GHz radar level meter:

1. Frequency:

• The 80GHz radar level meter operates at a much higher frequency than the 26GHz version. This allows the 80GHz model to have a smaller beam angle, resulting in higher precision and better performance in environments with obstacles or narrow spaces.

2. Range and Accuracy:

• Due to the higher frequency, 80GHz radar can measure smaller objects and provides more accurate readings, especially in challenging conditions like dust, vapor, or foam. 26GHz models, while effective, may struggle in such environments.

3. Antenna Size:

• The 80GHz radar requires a smaller antenna, making it more suitable for installation in confined spaces compared to the 26GHz radar.

4. Sensitivity to Interference:

• The 80GHz radar is less sensitive to interference from environmental factors such as dust, condensation, or buildup on the antenna, compared to the 26GHz radar.

5. Cost:

• 80GHz radar level meters tend to be more expensive due to their advanced technology and higher precision.

6. Application Scenarios:

• 80GHz models are better suited for complex environments or where high precision is required, while 26GHz models are often sufficient for simpler applications with fewer obstacles.

These differences allow users to choose the right technology based on the specific requirements of their application.
