Abstract
A fill level measuring device for radar-based measuring of fill level of a substance within a container includes: a measuring unit for determining the dielectric constant of the substance; and an evaluating unit configured to determine the fill level based on the extent to which a maximum of a measurement curve exceeds a predefined reference curve and to set an offset and/or a function type of the reference curve as a function of the measured dielectric constant such that the fill level measuring device adapts the position of the reference curve automatically based on the substance or the reflection conditions in the container such that manual matching to the reflection conditions in the container by a maintenance technician is then unnecessary.
