Gladiator - Hawk Measurement

1 OverviewGladiator Microwave SeriesA Higher Level of PerformanceGladiatorGen 3 Microwave Switch Series Beam Blockage DetectionData more information, please visit >Circular PolarisationPrinciple of OperationA high power circular polarized Microwave pulse is emitted from the Sending unit to the Receiving unit in a transmission chain of approximately 100 pulses per second. If the path between the Sender and Receiver is blocked by any object or material which absorbs or reflects microwave energy the Receiving unit will no longer detect the complete transmission chain and indicate via Relay or 4-20mA output the change for automatic indication and process control Uses Blocked chute detection Collision detection Stacker / Reclaimer protection Shiploader protection Nucleonic switch replacement High level alarm / Low level alarm Truck / machine Gladiator Microwave Switch can be used for blockage detection, barrier detection, machine detection, collision detection for protection, point level Measurement , and detection of objects or material between two points.

4 The amount of reflection and phase change depends on the objects dielectric constant. A linear receiver is not able to differentiate between the direct and the reflected signals; hence it will receive both and sum of the result is likely to be a smaller signal or worst-case no signal at all.

The HAWK Gen 3 system is right hand circular polarized. When a Circular polarized microwave transmitted signal comes in contact with an object it will reflect a left hand circular polarized transmitted signal, will then change to right hand circular polarized signal on the next reflection and vice versa with every reflection. If it is a single or odd number of reflections it will be a left hand polarized signal and if it is a two or even number of reflection then it will be a right hand polarized signal. The amount of reflection and phase change depends on the objects dielectric constant.

6 A HAWK Gen 3 receiver is designed to only receive a right hand circular polarized signal which means single or odd number of reflections (left hand circular polarized signals) will be ignored by the microwave receiver. The only time a circular polarized system can be affected is when two or even numbers of reflection occur where the time delay or phase shift will start to cancel part of the signal. Due to multiple reflections, the amount of energy is smaller compared to the direct signal. Hence a circular polarized system will receive more signal than a linear polarized system, reducing the possibility of false trips.
