Abstract
A radar fill level measurement device can be provided, which comprises a frequency synthesizer configured to generate an oscillator signal, a high-frequency signal generation module configured to generate a transmission signal based on the oscillator signal, and an energy-supply module configured to supply electrical energy to the frequency synthesizer and the high-frequency signal generation module. Associated methods and computer-accessible medium can also be provided. The frequency synthesizer can comprise a control device, a reference oscillator and a phase-locked loop. The phase-locked loop can comprise a phase-locked device and an oscillator. The phase-locked loop can be configured to adjust a frequency of the oscillator signal to a target value, and the phase-locked device can be configured to provide a control signal for the control device when the frequency of the oscillator signal has reached the target value. The control device can also be configured to actuate the energy-supply module to supply the electrical energy to the high-frequency signal generation module before the control signal is provided by the phase-locked device.
