A method for monitoring and operating a filling level measuring device operating as an FMCW radar device and a filling level measuring device operating as an FMCW radar device

摘要

The method involves modulating the frequency of a radar signal to be transmitted from a filling level measuring device (1) with a set of predetermined measuring parameters during a measuring of a filling level of a medium (2). The frequency of the radar signal to be transmitted is modulated with a set of predetermined test parameters during a test phase. A test measuring value is determined from a test receiving signal received during the test phase. The test measuring value is evaluated in terms of the monitoring. An independent claim is included for a method for operating a filling level measuring device operated as frequency modulated continuous wave-radar device.
