Abstract:
1. Level measurement antenna system for a level measurement device, the antenna system comprising: a wave guide that runs axially and that either has an arrangement on its rear side for generating and interpreting electromagnetic waves or can be connected to such an arrangement; an antenna on the front side of the wave guide; a connecting piece fixed on one end with the antenna and on another end with a spherical piece, so that the antenna can be turned; and a wave adapter within the spherical piece and flush with an end-phase surface of the spherical piece for transmitting such a wave between two components of the arrangement that conduct the wave for adaptation of the wave transmission between the components, the wave adapter tapered in the rear direction towards the through opening, wherein the wave adapter has a through opening in the axial direction and does not project over an end-face surface on the front side of the wave guide, and wherein the antenna comprises a rod that ends within the connecting piece.
