Abstract
A method for determining a coating property of a variable coating on an inner circumferential surface of a measuring tube includes emitting an excitation signal from the first microwave antenna, wherein the excitation signal comprises a sequence of high-frequency signals; receiving the excitation signal by the second microwave antenna; determining a first test variable from the received excitation signal and/or from an integral transform of the received excitation signal, wherein the first test variable is characteristic of the propagation of the excitation signal along a first propagation path, wherein the first propagation path describes an at least partial propagation of the excitation signal by the variable coating on the inner circumferential surface; and determining the coating property of the variable coating, in particular a variable dependent upon a coating thickness of the variable coating, based upon the first test variable.
