Abstract
Exemplary waveguide coupling configuration can be provided for a fill level radar antenna, e.g., in the form of a line scanner. The exemplary waveguide coupling configuration can include a waveguide openings on the antenna side which can have a distance from one another that can correspond to less than or equal to one half of the wavelength of the transmission signal. For example, the distance between adjacent radiator elements can be greater than one half of the wavelength of the transmission signal. In this exemplary manner, more space can be provided for a front end on the printed circuit board.
