Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to determine an accurate distance to a target using reference signal interpolation is disclosed. An example apparatus includes an interpolator to receive a first sample of a reference signal and a second sample of a reference signal; and interpolating a reconstructed reference signal sample based on the first and second samples, the reconstructed reference signal corresponding to the reference signal; a correlator to generate a plurality of phase-shifted, reconstructed reference signals; and correlate each of the plurality of phase-shifted, reconstructed reference signals with a reflected signal; and an optimal phase selector to determine an optimal phase based on the correlations and output a distance to a target based on the optimal phase.
