ultrasonic waves are not used but radio waves are used in radar technology because ultra sonic waves generally create an image out of the object while we have to confine our study to the geometrical measurements only

What is the difference between radar level measurement and ultrasonic level measurement?

Radar is based on Microwave and detects the change in dielectric constant where as Ultrasonic is based on Sound Wave at high frequency (Ultrasonic Wave) and detects change in density of medium. Based on performance and accuracy Radar is a better solution than Ultrasonic. However for lower range liquid application ultrasonic is a cost effective solution. hope this is useful for you!
