DG-RDS-S10L20 Radar Doppler Flow Meter

This is a non-contact flow‑measurement method. The Doppler radar integrates a microstrip antenna, RF circuitry, and a signal‑processing module, enabling direct acquisition of surface flow velocity and water‑level information. The velocity radar measures flow by exploiting the Doppler effect caused by the movement of surface waves; it is recommended to mount the velocity‑sensor module facing upstream. When the water flow approaches the sensor, a positive velocity reading is displayed. The water‑level radar can acquire water‑level data; when combined with bottom‑elevation data, it allows estimation of the cross‑sectional flow area. By integrating this with flow‑velocity measurements and applying hydraulic modeling, flow‑rate data can be derived.

Measurement principle

This is a non-contact flow‑measurement method. The Doppler radar integrates a microstrip antenna, RF circuitry, and a signal‑processing module, enabling direct acquisition of surface flow velocity and water‑level information. The velocity radar measures flow by exploiting the Doppler effect caused by the movement of surface waves; it is recommended to mount the velocity‑sensor module facing upstream. When the water flow approaches the sensor, a positive velocity reading is displayed. The water‑level radar can acquire water‑level data; when combined with base‑station measurements, it allows estimation of the cross‑sectional flow area. By integrating this with flow‑velocity data and applying a hydraulic model, the discharge can be determined.

Key Features

Measurement parameters: flow velocity, discharge, water level, cross‑sectional flow area, etc.
The radar antenna is inclined at an angle of 50° to the horizontal plane.
The entire device is compact and lightweight.
Electrical interface: uses an aviation connector.
Depending on the installation location, two models of water-level radar are available.
Equipped with a stainless steel bracket and a spirit level, it facilitates precise alignment during installation.
The product can be equipped with a built-in 4G all‑network‑compatible wireless module, enabling direct data upload over the public network.

Application scenarios

Hydrological, water resources, environmental protection, and water services agencies conduct flow velocity and discharge measurements in rivers, streams, canals, and other waterways.
