    摘要: The present invention relates to a device in a level gauging system comprising an antenna using radar waves to gauge a level of a surface of a fluid kept in a container. The antenna is arranged above the fluid surface and comprises a plane surface facing the fluid surface and being substantially parallel with the fluid surface. The plane surface has means for transmitting radar waves towards the fluid surface and means for receiving reflected radar waves from the fluid surface in order to gauge the fluid level. The antenna comprises a radome which at least partially covers the plane surface and is shaped such that condensed fluid is directed away from the antenna by force of gravity. A thermally insulating filling material is provided between the randome and the plane surface.

    摘要: A radar level gauge system, for determining a filling level of a product in a tank, comprises a transceiver, an antenna assembly, and processing. The antenna assembly comprises a dielectric antenna body having a conical external surface facing an interior of the tank and an internal surface facing away from the interior of the tank, when the antenna assembly is arranged at the opening in the tank wall, and an antenna feed coupled to the transceiver, and configured to propagate the transmit signal towards the internal surface of the dielectric antenna body as electromagnetic waves with convex wavefronts. The internal surface of the dielectric antenna body is shaped to refract the transmit signal from the antenna feed in such a way that the transmit signal propagates towards the surface of the product in the tank as electromagnetic waves with substantially planar wavefronts, following passage through the dielectric antenna body.
