Abstract
A FMCW fill level radar device including a control circuit for temporarily shifting, during the measuring phase, one component of the transceiver circuit into a state having reduced power consumption, resulting in the measurement being interrupted. This results in the total power consumption of the fill level radar device being reduced such that energy can be accumulated in the device, after which the measuring phase is continued.
