Transmitter Overview
2.5.2 Tank shape
The guided wave radar transmitter is insensitive to the tank shape. Since the radar signal travels
along a probe, the shape of the tank bottom has virtually no effect on the measurement
performance. The transmitter handles flat or dish-bottom tanks equally well.
2.6 Components of the transmitter
The Rosemount 3300 Series Radar Transmitter has an aluminum transmitter housing which
contains advanced electronics for signal processing.
The radar electronics produces an electromagnetic pulse which is guided by the probe.
There are different probe types available for various applications: Rigid Twin Lead, Flexible Twin
Lead, Rigid Single Lead, Segmented Rigid Single Lead, Flexible Single Lead, and Coaxial.

Note
Flexible and rigid probes require different radar electronics and cannot be used with the same
transmitter head.
