Abstract

A radar level gauge system, for measuring a filling level of a content contained in a tank, said radar level gauge system comprising a transmitter arranged outside said tank and configured to transmit microwave energy, a receiver arranged outside said tank and configured to receive reflected microwave energy, and a transmission line probe, comprising at least one probe line, configured to guide transmitted microwave energy towards and from said content, said probe at least partly disposed inside said tank, wherein said transmission line probe further comprises a dielectric enclosing structure enclosing at least a substantial part of said at least one probe line, wherein said dielectric enclosing structure is arranged to reduce the microwave energy attenuating effect caused by said content to be gauged. An advantage with the above system is its improved accuracy when measuring a filling level of a content contained in a tank, as the attenuation introduced by the content is reduced by the dicloctric enclosing structure.
