| 1. An antenna apparatus for transmitting data of a fill-level measuring device, comprising:
at least two coil arrangements, said coil arrangements have a coil length (li) and a coil diameter (di), wherein:
the coil diameter (di) is less than the associated coil length (li);
said coil arrangements each intersect a straight line (e) in such a way that the straight line (e) and the longitudinal axis
of said coil arrangements form at their intersection an angle of 90°;
the intersection of each coil arrangement is arranged at a position between
 said at least two coil arrangements are arranged along this line (e) in a sequence, which the coil lengths li of the coil arrangements monotonically decrease l1>l2> . . . ln; and
said at least two coil arrangements, in each case, have a separation along the line (e) between the coil arrangement (i) and
(i+1), which is, at most, exactly as large, as the coil length (li) of the longer coil, respectively.
