    Abstract: A radar fill level measurement device includes a radar sensor unit which has comprising a radar antenna emitting a measurement signal towards a filling material surface. The radar fill level measurement device in addition includes a limit level sensor unit determining a fill level of the filling material. The limit level sensor unit detects when the spacing between the filling material surface and the radar antenna falls below a minimum spacing. A radar antenna arrangement is for a radar fill level measurement device. The radar antenna arrangement includes a radar antenna horn which has a housing and/or a cover, and a limit level sensor unit. At least part of the limit level sensor unit is arranged on the housing or on the cover or is integrated therein.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a capacitive pressure transducer for measuring the pressure of a medium adjacent to the pressure transducer, which has a resilient measuring diaphragm, of which the first side is at least partially in contact with the medium and of which the second side, which faces away from the medium, comprises a measuring electrode and, for measuring a temperature, a resistance element made of a material having a temperature dependent resistance. Furthermore, the pressure transducer has a base body, which is arranged to oppose the second side of the measuring diaphragm, with a counter electrode, which forms a measuring capacitance with the measuring electrode. According to the invention, the resistance element is formed as a resistive layer disposed between the second side of the measuring diaphragm and the measuring electrode.
