Device for determining the volume fraction of at least one component of a multi-phase medium

摘要

A device for determining the volume fraction of at least one component of a multi-phase medium on the basis of the running time of an electromagnetic desired signal emitted in the multi-phase medium, having at least one emitting device for emitting the desired signal into the multi-phase medium, having at least one receiving device for receiving the desired signal, and having an evaluation device for determining the running time of the desired signal between the emitting device and the receiving device, and at least one polarization device arranged between the emitting device and the receiving device. The desired signal is emitted at least indirectly from the emitting device through the multi-phase medium to the polarization device, the polarization device influences the polarization of the desired signal and the polarization-influenced desired signal is emitted at least indirectly from the polarization device to the receiving device which receives it.
