2Product Description
2.1 Introduction
Tek-Wave 4300B FMCW Bluetooth Radar Level Transmitter continuously measures different liquids and
solids levels in simple applications with lower pressure and temperature ranges demands. It is mainly
suitable for water treatment, pumping stations, rain overflow basins, and level monitoring. In bulk
solids applications, the sensors are used in small bulk solids silos or open containers.
The non-contact 80GHz radar transmitter includes Bluetooth technology for commissioning, operation
and maintenance, which reduces cost and time. Every Bluetooth®-enabled smartphone or tablet can
display output signal through an app (Android). Simple, safe and secure wireless remote access Radar
Level Transmitter is suitable for installation in difficult places. Its unique radar chip design makes it the
most compact radar that perfectly fits in limited space applications. Its full PVDF body resists outdoor
conditions, sealed wiring and fully potted electronics eliminate water ingress and allows operation
under harsh environmental conditions. Perfect application fit for water & wastewater and utilities in all
industries

Bluetooth Radar Level Transmitter
2.2 Working Principle
The Tek-Wave 4300B FMCW Bluetooth Radar Level Transmitter uses 80GHz Frequency Modulated
Continuous Wave. The FMCW radar emits a high-frequency signal that increases linearly during the
measurement phase (called the frequency sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected from the measuring
surface and received with a time delay (t).
Delay Time (t)= 2D/C
Where,
D is the distance to the product surface.
C is the speed of light in the gas above the product.
The difference Δf is calculated from the actual transmit frequency and the receive frequency for further
signal processing. This difference is directly proportional to the distance.
