    Abstract: Using a phase interferometry method which utilizes both amplitude and phase allows the determination and estimation of multipath signals. To determine the location of an object, a signal that contains sufficient information to allow determination of both amplitude and phase, like a packet that includes a sinewave portion, is provided from a master device. A slave device measures the phase and amplitude of the received packet and returns this information to the master device. The slave device returns a packet to the master that contains a similar sinewave portion to allow the master device to determine the phase and amplitude of the received signals. Based on the two sets of amplitude and phase of the RF signals, the master device utilizes a fast Fourier transform or techniques like multiple signal classification to determine the indicated distance for each path and thus more accurately determines a location of the slave device.

    Abstract: A method of calculating a time difference is disclosed. The method includes sampling a first ultrasonic signal (r21) to produce a first sampled signal (y1(i)) and sampling a second ultrasonic signal (r12) to produce a second sampled signal (y2(i)). A first time (LEAD_LAG) is determined between a time the first sampled signal crosses a threshold (θ1) and a time the second sampled signal crosses the threshold. The first sampled signal is cross correlated with the second sampled signal to produce a second time (SAMP_OFFSET). The time difference is calculated in response to the first and second times.

    Abstract: A transducer system with a transducer and circuitry for applying a pulse train to excite the transducer. The circuitry for applying a pulse train selects a first set having a first number of pulses at a first frequency and a second set of pulses having a second number of pulses at a second frequency differing from the first frequency. At least one pulse from the first set is located in the pulse train between one or more of the pulses at the second frequency.

    Abstract: A method of calculating a time difference is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first ultrasonic signal (r21) from a first transducer (UT1) and receiving a second ultrasonic signal (r12) from a second ultrasonic transducer (UT2). The first and second ultrasonic signals are sampled to produce respective first and second sampled ultrasonic signals (502). Points having a value greater than a first threshold are selected from the first and second sampled ultrasonic signals (510). A difference in travel time between the first and second ultrasonic signals is calculated (512) in response to the selected points.
