    摘要: The invention relates to a method of measuring a distance between two radio-communication devices (1, 2), consisting in measuring a radio signal exchange delay. According to the invention, the time-of-flight of the signals is calculated from the exchange delay and subsequently corrected using an analysis of a single channel measuring frame that is transmitted between the two devices. The corrected time-of-flight corresponds to the shortest propagation path followed by the radio signals. In the majority of radio transmission medium configurations, the corrected time-of-flight is a straight line measurement of the distance separating the two devices (1, 2).
