Abstract
To determine an echo curve using a fill level measurement device operating according to the FMCW principle, the echo curve is calculated from corresponding sampling values at a first resolution. After this, a particular portion of the echo curve is calculated at a second, higher resolution using the DTFT algorithm. This can reduce the complexity required for calculating the echo curve.
