Abstract

The invention relates to a guide element for an antenna for a fill level meter, wherein the guide element is composed of a dielectric material and is used for forming, guiding and emitting electromagnetic radiation. The guide element has a permittivity course that changes over the spatial expansion of the guide element for specifically forming the electromagnetic radiation, the course being implemented by a spatial distribution of the material density of the dielectric material, wherein the material density is defined as one portion of dielectric material per elementary cell of a given size. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a guide element.
