High Sensitivity provides outstanding reliability The Rosemount Model 5601 Radar Level Transmitter has an
ultrahigh sensitivity resulting in outstanding reliability, even under the toughest conditions.
For all radar
transmitters, a certain amount of microwave energy has to return to the transmitter. A reliable
measurement can only be made if the reflected signal is sufficiently stronger than
the noise. This is why sensitivity (or signal-to-noise ratio) is one
of the most important qualities when differentiating
high-quality transmitters from less reliable transmitters.
A high signal-to-noise ratio makes it possible to detect and
measure weaker echoes – which normally appear in process tanks
where conditions often change.
