Abstract

See full text

A method for powering a radar level gauge, comprising an initial frequency stabilization procedure, ensuring a stable separation frequency between a first and a second clock frequencies, during which frequency stabilization procedure said radar level gauge is not powered to provide a level output, and a subsequent measurement cycle, performed only when a stable separation frequency has been established, during which said radar level gauge is powered to provide a level output. The present invention allows a radar level gauge system to save power by not providing power to and operating the radar level gauge circuit during such times when the frequency separation would not enable the radar level gauge to provide proper level measurements.
