Claim:
1. A fill level measurement device for determining a distance from a medium and a flow speed of the medium by evaluating a transmission signal emitted by the fill level measurement device and reflected by the medium, comprising: a signal generator module generating the transmission signal; an antenna arrangement emitting the transmission signal in a first direction perpendicular to a flow direction of the medium and in a second direction different from the first direction; and a processor unit determining the distance from the medium and the flow speed of the medium by evaluating the transmission signal reflected by the medium and received by the antenna arrangement, wherein the signal generator module is an FMCW module and at least a first part of the transmission signal is a frequency-modulated continuous wave signal, FMCW; wherein the transmission signal has a second part which is a continuous wave signal, CW; and wherein the fill level measurement device is configured to emit the first part of the transmission signal only in the first direction and the second part of the transmission signal only in the second direction.
