Definitions
- the invention relates to a radar distance measuring device, in particular a fill level measuring device, and to a frequency conversion circuit for use in the radar distance measuring device.
- the pulse radar and the frequency modulation continuous wave radar are known in particular for non-contact distance measurement with microwaves.
- pulse radar short microwave transmission pulses are periodically emitted, which are reflected by the object to be measured and are received again as an echo signal after a distance-dependent transit time.
- the temporal position of the echo signal within each transmission / reception period in the case of pulse radar corresponds directly to the distance of the object to be measured.
- FMCW radar a continuous microwave is emitted, which is periodically linearly frequency-modulated, for example according to a sawtooth function.
- the frequency of each received echo signal therefore has a frequency difference compared to the instantaneous frequency that the transmission signal has at the time of reception, which depends on the transit time of the echo signal.
- the frequency difference between the transmission signal and the received signal which can be obtained by mixing the two signals and evaluating the Fourier spectrum of the mixed signal, thus corresponds to the distance between the reflecting surface of the object and the transmitting / receiving antenna.
- the aim is to be able to resolve a plurality of objects which are arranged one behind the other in the path of propagation of the microwaves and which have approximately the same reflectivity, in order to be able to distinguish the object to be measured, in particular the fill level surface, from tank internals or the like.
- the length of the transmission pulses with a pulse radar may not exceed 1 ns.
- the frequency of the transmitted signal must be able to be changed by at least 1 GHz for the same distance resolution, for example from 4.8 GHz to 5.8 GHz.
- Higher transmission frequencies of, for example, 24 GHz are advantageous in that the improved bundling in smaller or narrower containers makes it possible to measure, a higher gain is achieved with smaller antennas and the high-frequency implementation on containers with high internal pressure is simplified.
- the associated increased effort speaks against the use of increased transmission frequencies.
- there are applications in which the use of a lower transmission frequency is more favorable, for example in the case of liquid surfaces which tend to foam. There is therefore a need for radar distance measuring devices which can work with an increased transmission frequency; at the same time, however, there is still a need for radar distance measuring devices which operate with a comparatively low transmission frequency of, for example, 5.8 GHz.
- the available level gauges are each designed for a specific frequency range. Their possible uses are restricted by the predetermined frequency range of conventional distance measuring devices.
- the starting point is a radar distance measuring device with a radar module which has, for example, a generator for generating microwaves in a relatively low frequency range, a beam splitter, a mixer, a coupler and an evaluation circuit.
- the beam splitter has an input connected to the output of the generator and two outputs.
- the mixer has an output and two inputs, the first of which is connected to one of the outputs of the beam splitter and the second to one of the three connections of the coupler.
- the other output of the beam splitter is connected to a further connection of the coupler.
- the third connection of the coupler forms an antenna connection to which a transmit / receive antenna can be connected, which is designed for the relatively low frequency range, for example 5.8 GHz.
- a transmit / receive antenna By means of this transmission / reception antenna, transmission waves with a frequency lying within this frequency range can be transmitted to the surface of an object whose distance from the antenna is to be measured. The echo waves reflected on the surface of the object are received via the same antenna.
- the evaluation circuit of the radar module is connected to the output of the mixer, which uses the signals emitted there to determine the transit time of the microwaves to the surface of the object and to determine the distance therefrom.
- the invention provides a frequency conversion circuit which can be inserted between the antenna connection of the unchanged radar module and a transmit / receive antenna which is preferably designed for the higher frequency range.
- This frequency conversion circuit contains a bidirectional signal path between an input / output connection which can be connected to the antenna connection of the radar module and its own antenna connection, as well as a local oscillator and a mixer which both controls the frequency fi of the signals at the input / output connection Mix with the frequency f2 of the local oscillator into the higher frequency f3 with which the signals are emitted at the own antenna connection, and also the frequency f3 of the signals received at this antenna connection by mixing with the frequency f2 of the local oscillator in converts the frequency fi with which the signals are output to the input / output connection.
- the frequency conversion circuit contains only a local oscillator, a mixer, preferably a low-pass filter and, if necessary, a high-pass filter.
- the mixer is connected to the output of the local oscillator, the second to one connection of the low-pass filter and the third to the one connection of the high-pass filter.
- the second connection of the low-pass filter is connected to the antenna connection of the radar module, and the transmit / receive antenna is applied to the second connection of the high-pass filter, which forms the antenna connection of the interposed frequency conversion circuit.
- the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter is preferably at the upper end of the low frequency range, and that of the high-pass filter is preferably at the lower end of the higher frequency range.
- the existing distance measuring device "sees" only signals within the first frequency range, and the transmit / receive antenna is only operated with signals within the second frequency range.
- the frequency ranges around 5.8 GHz and 24.125 GHz are industrial bands with the possibility of operating radar level measuring devices outside of closed metallic containers. Therefore, versions are advantageous in which the radar module operates at the frequency of 5.8 GHz and the frequency conversion circuit converts this value to an increased transmission frequency of approximately 24 GHz.
- Figure 1 shows the principle of a level measuring device working with microwaves.
- Fig. 2 shows the block diagram of a level measuring device according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows as a preferred application the measurement of the fill level in a container 10 which is filled to a height H with a filling material 12.
- an antenna 14 is attached above the container 10, with which an electromagnetic wave can be sent to the surface of the filling material 12 and the echo wave reflected on this surface can be received.
- the emitted electromagnetic wave is generated by a transmission circuit 16, the output of which is connected both to a frequency mixer 18 and to a circulator 19 to which the antenna 14 is connected.
- the frequency mixer 18 is also connected to the circulator 19 and to a receiving and Evaluation circuit 20 connected, which determines the distance E between the antenna 14 and the surface of the filling material 12 from the transmission signal supplied to the antenna 14 by the transmission circuit 16 and the reception signal supplied by the antenna 14. Since the distance D of the antenna 14 from the bottom of the container 10 is known, the difference between this distance D and the measured distance E gives the desired fill level H.
- the antenna 14 is of course designed for the transmission and reception of such short waves; it is equipped with a horn, for example, as indicated in FIG. 1.
- any method known from radar technology can be used to measure the distance E. All of these methods are based on measuring the propagation time of the electromagnetic waves from the antenna to the reflecting surface and back to the antenna. Since the propagation speed of the electromagnetic waves is known, the distance traveled can be calculated from the measured transit time.
- a known radar method is pulse radar, in which short transmission pulses are transmitted periodically and in a reception phase following each transmission of a transmission pulse, the echo signals are detected at the frequency of the transmission pulse.
- the signal amplitude received over time in the course of each reception phase directly represents the echo function.
- Each value of this echo function corresponds to the amplitude of an echo reflected at a certain distance from the antenna. The position of the useful echo in the echo function therefore shows the distance to be measured directly.
- FMCW method frequency modulation continuous wave method
- a continuous microwave is emitted, which is periodically linearly frequency-modulated, for example according to a sawtooth function.
- the frequency of each received echo signal therefore has a frequency difference compared to the instantaneous frequency that the transmission signal has at the time of reception, which depends on the transit time of the echo signal.
- the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and the received signal which is obtained by mixing the two signals and evaluating the Fourier spectrum of the mixed signal can be obtained, thus corresponds to the distance of the reflecting surface from the antenna.
- a radar module 1 of conventional construction is shown within a frame.
- the radar module 1 can be constructed from individual components, but is preferably implemented as an overall circuit on a substrate.
- a generator is provided for generating microwaves of the frequency fi, which lies within a first frequency range and is, for example, 5.8 GHz.
- the radar module 1 is provided with an antenna connection A, to which a transmitting / receiving antenna suitable for the frequency fi can be connected in a conventional manner and if required.
- the measured values emitted by the radar module 1 are available at an output 9 of the radar module 1.
- the arrangement described so far forms a conventional fill level measuring device, provided that a transmit / receive antenna designed for the frequency fi is applied to the antenna connection A of the radar module 1.
- a frequency conversion circuit 2 to the antenna connection A of the radar module 1 instead of the transmit / receive antenna designed for the frequency fi, which in turn excludes one for a much higher frequency range ⁇ placed transmit / receive antenna 7, which in turn is shown as a horn antenna.
- the object, whose distance S from this antenna 7 is to be measured, is shown symbolically opposite the horn opening and is designated by 8. With a level meter. the surface of the object 8 is formed by the surface of the filling material (Fig. 1).
- the frequency f3 with which the transmit / receive antenna 7 is operated can be more than three times the frequency fi and is preferably around 24 GHz.
- the frequency conversion circuit 2 can be constructed very simply. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2, it consists of a mixer 4, a local oscillator 5, a low-pass filter 3 and a high-pass filter 6.
- the low-pass filter 3, whose cut-off frequency is somewhat higher than the frequency fl, for example at 7 GHz, is on its first connection is connected to an input / output connection C, which can be connected to the antenna connection A of the radar module 1, and at its second connection to one of the three connections conclusions of the mixer 4 is connected.
- the second connection of the mixer 4 is connected to the first connection of the high-pass filter 6, the cut-off frequency of which is somewhat lower than the frequency f3, for example at 23 GHz.
- the second connection of the high-pass filter 6 forms the antenna connection B for the transmit / receive antenna 7.
- the third connection of the mixer 4 is finally fed by the local oscillator 5 with a frequency, the value of which determines the ratio of the frequencies fi and f3 to one another. If the frequency fi is 5.8 GHz and the frequency f3 is 24 GHz, the frequency of the local oscillator 5 must be 18.2 GHz.
- the signal of frequency fi arriving at an output terminal C of the frequency conversion circuit 2 passes through the low-pass filter 3 to the mixer 4 and is mixed with the frequency f2 of the local oscillator 5, as a result of which the frequencies are known
- the mixer 4 must be designed for the bandwidth required in each case.
- the frequency conversion circuit 2 forms a bidirectional signal path between the input / output connection C and the antenna connection B. In a reciprocal manner, the signals reflected by the surface of the object 8 pass from the antenna connection B and via the high-pass filter 6 with the frequency f3 to the mixer 4 and are converted with the frequency f2 of the local oscillator 5 by mixing, the frequencies
- the microwave signal of the frequency fi output at the antenna connection A of the radar module 1 is converted into the frequency f3 by the frequency conversion circuit 2 and is emitted by the transmitting / receiving antenna 7 against the surface of the object 8.
- the echo signal R reflected back from the surface of the object 8 is received by the transmitting / receiving antenna 7 and transformed back into the frequency fi by the frequency conversion circuit 2. It appears at the antenna connection A of the radar module 1 and is fed to the further processing in its evaluation circuit.
- This evaluation circuit determines, in particular from the temporal position of the echo signal within each transmit / receive phase, the transit time of the microwaves between a reference point of the transmit / receive antenna 7 and the surface of the object 8, from the transit time via the known propagation speed the microwaves to determine the distance S or, based on the level measurement according to FIG. 1, the level H.
- the frequency fß coincides with the frequency fi, as can be easily verified by inserting into the above equation for iß.
- the radar module 1 thus “sees” only signals of the frequency fj, while the transmit / receive antenna 7 is only operated with microwave signals of the frequency f3.
- the described embodiment of the distance measuring device is operated using the pulse method.
- a conventional radar module can be used, which operates according to the frequency modulation continuous wave method (FMCW), or any other radar module, which has a common send / receive connection.
- FMCW frequency modulation continuous wave method
- the specified frequency values are particularly useful for level measurements, other frequency values can be considered depending on the intended application.
- the high-pass filter 6 of the frequency conversion circuit 2 is unnecessary, since a waveguide system has a high-pass character.
