Claim:
1. Method for determining a fill level of a medium according to the radar principle, comprising the steps of: transmitting at least one electromagnetic signal from a transmitting device and receiving at least one electromagnetic signal for determining the fill level, wherein a slope of the transmitting device relative to the force of gravity is determined at least once, wherein at least one evaluating value for determining the fill level is determined from the determined slope, wherein signal course data are determined at least in dependence on the determined slope and in dependence on data pertaining to the container, wherein the signal course data describe propagation of at least one electromagnetic signal in the interior of the container and wherein a transmission measure is determined based on the signal course data and the data pertaining to the container, and wherein the transmission measure describes a portion of the propagation of at least one electromagnetic signal outside of the interior of the container.
