A radar level gauge system for determining a topographic property of a product, comprising a transceiver; a signal transfer element coupled to the transceiver and configured to emit an electromagnetic transmit signal from the transceiver in an emission direction; a propagating member for propagating the transmit signal towards the surface of the product and a reflection signal back towards the transceiver, the propagating member being movably arranged in relation to the signal transfer element and configured to deflect the transmit signal; an elastic system coupled to the signal transfer element and to the propagating member, and arranged to define at least one property of an oscillating movement of the propagating member in relation to the signal transfer element; an actuator arranged to initiate the oscillating movement; and processing circuitry coupled to the transceiver for determining the topographic property based on the transmit signal and the reflection signal.

Radar level gauge with elastic system

A filling level determination system, for determining a filling level of a product in a tank, comprising a measurement unit for arrangement at a measurement position, the measurement unit including a transceiver; and an antenna arrangement coupled to the transceiver for radiating an electromagnetic transmit signal generated by the transceiver from the measurement position towards a target position on the tank wall, and for returning an electromagnetic first reflection signal resulting from reflection of the transmit signal at the target position back towards the transceiver; and processing circuitry coupled to the transceiver of the measurement unit and being configured to determine the filling level based on tank deformation data indicative of a known relation between the level of the product in the tank and deformation of the tank at the first target position, and a timing relation between the first transmit signal and the first reflection signal.
