Patent number: 11946789Abstract: Disclosed is a method for a radar-based fill level measurement according to the pulse transit time method. Also disclosed a fill level measuring device for carrying out said method. On the basis of an evaluation signal, the relation between the clock rate and the sampling rate, and a predefined target relation, an evaluation curve is generated. The fill level is thereby determined on the basis of said evaluation curve. The evaluation curve is generated by means of temporal expansion or compression of the evaluation signal, wherein the compression or the expansion is carried out as a function of a ratio between the measured relation and the target relation. Any deviation of the sampling rate from the setpoint value of the sampling rate, for example due to faulty control, is compensated. Thus, the potentially attainable accuracy of the fill level measurement is increased due to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Endress+Hauser SE+Co. KGInventors: Ghislain Daufeld, Stefan Gorenflo, Alexey Malinovskiy, Jens Merle, Markus Vogel
