Radar level gauge with H01-mode wave transducer
Abstract:
A radar level gauge having a wave guiding structure arranged to guide a measurement signal towards the surface and to return the reflected signal, and an electromagnetic wave transducer arranged to emit the measurement signal into the wave guiding structure as electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic wave transducer has a plurality of radiating elements arranged in N−1 concentric feeder rings, where a radius of each feeder ring coincides with a radial zero of an electrical field of the H0N-mode, and feeding circuitry connected to feed the measurement signals from the transceiver circuitry to the radiating elements, thereby causing the electromagnetic wave transducer to excite electromagnetic waves in the H01-mode.
With this choice of feeder ring radii, the H0N mode will not be excited.
