Abstract

UN DISPOSITIVO PARA CALIBRAR EL NIVEL DE UN LIQUIDO EN UN CONTENEDOR, ENCIMA DE LA SUPERFICIE DEL LIQUIDO EXISTE UN GAS. EL DISPOSITIVO COMPRENDE UN TRANSMISOR PARA LA SEÑAL DE MICROONDAS TRANSMITIDA A TRAVES DEL GAS A LA MENCIONADA SUPERFICIE Y UN RECEPTOR QUE RECIBE LA SEÑAL REFLEJADA CONTRA LA SUPERFICIE, Y UNA UNIDAD DE ELECTRONICA PARA CALCULAR A PARTIR DEL TIEMPO DE PROPAGACION DE LA SEÑAL DE MICROONDAS UNA PRIMERA DISTANCIA DESDE EL TRANSMISOR HASTA LA SUPERFICIE DEL LIQUIDO Y EL NIVEL EN EL CONTENEDOR. UNA CARACTERISTICA ESENCIAL DEL DISPOSITIVO ES UN PRIMER MECANISMO PARA ALIMENTAR LA VELOCIDAD DEL SONIDO EN EL GAS Y UN SEGUNDO MECANISMO PARA CORREGIR LA PRIMERA DISTANCIA A UNA SEGUNDA DISTANCIA CONSIDERANDO LA VELOCIDAD DEL MICROONDAS EN EL GAS A TRAVES DE DE UNA CONOCIDA RELACION ENTRE LA VELOCIDAD DEL SONIDO Y DE LAS MICROONDAS.
