ABSTRACT:
Described is a method and an apparatus of directly digitizing microwave signals reflected at a filling product surface of a filling product present in a receptacle, in which method the microwave signals reflected at the filling product surface are sampled unmodified in their frequency, and the therefrom resulting analog values are converted into digital values, with successive digital values being stored in various intermediate memories, and the intermediately stored digital values are read out from the intermediate memories and are stored in a terminal memory unit, to which accesses an evaluation arrangement which determines the filling level height.
