LiDAR technology is a remote sensing technology that measures the distance to an object by illuminating the target with a laser and then analyzing the reflected light. The laser pulses travel at the speed of light to the object and the laser is then reflected back to the sensors. The time taken for the pulses …
The transmitter is the part of a radar system responsible for the production of short-duration high-powered radio frequency pulses of energy that is subsequently radiated into space using an antenna. There are various transmitters depending on the scope and usage. We are going to look at the differences between the Guided Wave Radar level transmitter …

A little competition between two rival entities always spices things up. This is true even in the level measurement world where the two most commonly used methods, the Ultrasonic level measurement and the Radar level measurement compete for supremacy. The ultrasonic technique uses sound-based measurements while the radar technique uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves. Below are …

Mobile LiDAR technology is fast gaining traction as the most advanced mapping technology today. This is mainly due to the fact that it gives a much more detailed data report in a short span of time. Because of this, more and more companies are finding it necessary to develop mobile LiDAR technology in order to …
How it works Guided Wave Radar is also known as the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) or in simpler terms, micro-impulse radar. When a guided wave radar unit is being installed, the GWR sensor or gauge is usually mounted on top of a tank or chamber while the probe is extended to the full depth of …
Non-contact radar is a radar that is based on microwave technology that sends the microwave signals through the air and not a medium. On the other hand, Guided Wave Radar instruments use waveguide “probes” to guide radio waves into a process fluid. Both of these techniques are used to measure the surface level of fluids …
The term “Radar” stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging. Even though radar was being developed since the 1930s, it was first coined as radar in 1940 by the United States Navy. As the name suggests, radar transmission is dependent on the use of radio signals to transmit data. Radar systems work by sending or relaying …
LiDAR and RADAR remote sensing are some of the most common remote sensing techniques in use today. LiDAR uses light rays or lasers to send and receive signals while RADAR uses radio signals to send and receive signals to and from an object. But what are the differences between these two remote sensing techniques? …
The era of self-driving cars is here with us and with it comes the need and competition to have safe self-driving cars on the road. Companies have gone all out to ensure that they stay at the top as far as this technology is concerned. With good reason, check out our article Advantages of LiDAR …
The technology behind vehicle autonomy and driverless cars rely on a number of technologies. Among these technologies are RADAR and LiDAR. Both of these technologies have their functions in autonomous vehicles but come with their own blend of strengths and weaknesses. We examine both technologies and how each of them has been used in this …
