Abstract
A device for determining the topography of the burden surface in a shaft furnace (), the device comprising a radar device () that scans the burden surface () and has an antenna device () arranged in the area of a furnace cover (), the antenna device being arranged on an axis of rotation () that is inclined in relation to a vertical axis () of the shaft furnace at an angle of inclination α and being rotatable about the axis of rotation by means of a drive device in such a manner that a radar fan beam () formed by the emitted radar radiation of the antenna device is incident upon the burden surface along a profile line p and sweeps across the burden surface as the antenna device rotates.
