Abstract
A temperature resistant and compactly designable fill level measuring device comprises a housing; arranged in the housing, a transmitting/receiving unit, which produces radar signals and, based on corresponding received signals, determines fill level; an antenna for transmitting transmitted radar signals to a fill substance and for receiving received signals after reflection on a surface of the fill substance; and a measuring device neck arranged between the antenna and the housing and containing, extending in the measuring device neck, a hollow conductor, via which signals are led between the transmitting/receiving unit and the antenna. A thermal coupling element couples the hollow conductor thermally with the measuring device neck. In this way, the transmitting/receiving unit is thermally decoupled from the container. This enables a compact construction of the measuring device neck, and of the fill level measuring device, a compact construction which satisfies both thermal as well as also mechanical requirements.
