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, which has an amplitude modulation or a frequency modulation during a first time interval and which has no modulation during a second time interval; an antenna arrangement emitting the transmission signal in a first direction oblique to the flow direction of the medium; 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 antenna arrangement is configured to emit the transmission signal in a second direction which is perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium.
