Radar Water Level & Velocity Station – Non-Contact Water Level and Surface Velocity Monitoring System
Frankstar Radar Level Velocity Station adopts non-contact radar measurement technology to achieve high-precision, all-weather and automatic water level data collection for rivers, channels and other water bodies. It effectively overcomes the drawbacks of traditional contact sensors, such as siltation, icing, floating debris impact and biological fouling, ensuring long-term reliable data.
Integrated with a positioning system, 4G/5G communication and a high-efficiency solar power supply system, the Station enables long-term unattended operation in remote field environments without mains power or network coverage, greatly reducing operation and maintenance costs. Collected data is transmitted in real time to the monitoring center or cloud platform, providing a scientific basis for flood control, disaster mitigation, water resource management and ecological protection, while significantly improving emergency response efficiency and the safety of water conservancy facilities.

Radar Velocity Meter | Non-Contact Surface Flow Measurement | Frankstar
The Radar Velocity Meter is an integrated device combining a microstrip antenna, RF circuit, and signal processing unit. It directly outputs target velocity information and is used for flow velocity measurement in rivers and underground pipeline networks.
The radar adopts an imported German integrated chip and a front-end low-noise amplifier, featuring ultra-high sensitivity. It measures surface water flow velocity based on the Doppler principle. The microwave radar is not affected by temperature, pressure, air density, wind, or other environmental conditions, enabling stable all-weather and all-time operation.
Our radar velocity meter features a low starting speed and a wide measuring range. It includes built-in tilt compensation and gain adjustment, making installation simple and convenient. The product is widely used for monitoring surface flow velocity in rivers, open channels, and underground culverts. When combined with a water level gauge, it can form an online flow monitoring system.
