Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0163223A2] The invention relates to a method and device for carrying out contactless measurement of a level of a fluid in a container by emitting a transmission signal from above onto the surface of the fluid and by receiving the reflected signal, whereby the reflected received signal is compared to the emitted signal by correlation in order to ascertain the correct receive time and thus the path.
