The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for determining the relative position of stations by radio location. At least a first station has at least a first antenna, and at least a second station has at least two base point-modulated antennae. The first station sends at least one location signal via the first antenna. The second station reflects the location signal via a first base point-modulated antenna as a first modulated, reflected location signal and via a second base point-modulated antenna as a second modulated, reflected location signal. The first station receives the modulated, reflected location signals via the antenna. At least one position angle for the relative position between the first station and the second station is determined from the phase relations of the received modulated, reflected location signals. The method according to the invention and the arrangement according to the invention permit highly asymmetrical systems which concentrate a large part of the functionality in terms of hardware and algorithms in the read-out part, i.e. in the first station. By contrast, the second station containing the base point-modulated antennae can by constructed very simply and cost-efficiently, using RFID tags for example. Consequently, the system concept according to the invention can be used for a host of applications.
