Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method by means of which conveyor belts of belt conveyors, which can be loaded with a bulk material, have their operational behaviour and/or state and/or loading monitored during operation, wherein the belt conveyor has provided on it at least one radar-antenna combination, which consists of at least one transmitting antenna and one receiving antenna and is oriented onto the conveyor belt, wherein a radar-antenna combination arranged to the side of the conveyor belt periodically picks up the reflection from emitted radar beams by way of the side edge of the conveyor belt and/or the loading boundary of a bulk material located on the conveyor belt and communicates corresponding signals to a signal-processing unit, whereas a radar-antenna combination oriented onto the surface of the conveyor belt periodically picks up the reflection of emitted radar beams, on the one hand, by way of the surface of the conveyor belt and, on the other hand, by way of reinforcing supports embedded in the conveyor belt and communicates corresponding signals to a signal-processing unit.

Claim (Index 22):
The method in accordance with  claim 18 , in which a coherent frequency modulated signal source is used to generate a signal fed into the at least one lateral antenna and/or the at least one perpendicular radar antenna.
