摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for determining the filling level of a filling material in a container. The device has a signal-generating unit, which generates electromagnetic measuring signals, a transceiver unit, which emits the measuring signals via an antenna in the direction of the surface of the filling material and which receives the echo signals reflected at the surface of the filling material, the antenna comprising a waveguide which widens in the direction of emission into a cavity of a defined shape, and an evaluation unit which determines the filling level in the container from the propagation time of the measuring signals. At least one dielectric filling material is provided which at least partially fills up the waveguide, and which virtually completely fills up the widened cavity of the antenna. |
