Abstract :
Obtaining reliable measurements of liquid level is important at power generation stations, on vehicles, at chemical storage facilities, and in many industrial processes. In recent years radiowave methods for level measurement were developed using long line sensing elements. The accuracy and reliability of these measurements can be substantially improved by replacing the long line element with a section of a Slow-Wave Structure (SWS)
