A method for radar-based gauging of the level of a substance in a tank (13) having at least one interfering structure (16a-c), comprises the steps of: (i) transmitting a microwave signal in a plurality of radiation lobes (15a-b; 15a-d), each of which being individually directed towards the substance and at least one of which being directed towards the interfering structure; (ii) for each of the radiation lobes detecting temporally resolved the microwave signal as reflected against the substance, and for at least one of the lobes detecting the microwave signal as reflected against the interfering structure; (iii) based on signal strengths of the detected microwave signals, distinguishing the detected microwave signals, which have been reflected against the substance; and (iv) based on a propagation time of at least one of the microwave signals distinguished as those, which have been reflected against the substance, calculating the level of the substance.
