Radar Technology
Unique—in Many Respects
Compared to other sensory operating principles, radar waves offer unique advantages:
They are hardly susceptible to interference and propagate near the speed of light
They are reflected by all materials to some extent
They are able to penetrate most materials to a certain degree
Pepperl+Fuchs FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) radar sensors take advantage of precisely these properties and make them available in the form of a solution that meets the highest industrial requirements: Three different measurement modes, long ranges, fast detection speeds, and the ability to detect virtually any target are just one dimension of these sensors.Added to this is a selection of connection options which, in conjunction with a CAN interface, allows for conceivably simple application integration. This means that an enormous variety of demanding applications can be solved with just one type of sensor.
