Ultrasonic was yesterday – the future is radar!
Compact level sensors with 80 GHz radar technology provide reliable measurement results under all conditions.
Advantages of radar technology compared to ultrasonic sensors
Where ultrasonic level measurement reaches its limits
Compared to ultrasonic measuring instruments, radar sensors measure unaffected by temperature fluctuations, vacuum or high pressures and are insensitive to contamination. 80 GHz radar sensors also convince with very good signal focusing. This makes it easier to separate measurement and interference signals - the measurement is much easier and more accurate.

Why radar is the better ultrasonic
“VEGA talk” is a monthly series on the VEGA YouTube channel. The two faces of the channel are Tom Mulvey and Stefan Sum. “In real life”, both are VEGA employees, but they also post their discussions about current topics. This time, Tom invited Jürgen Skowaisa, the radar product manager, to present the new VEGAPULS radar sensor.
