    摘要: A radio-frequency method for range finding includes modulating a reference signal having an intermediate frequency to a downlink signal having a carrier frequency using a clock signal. The downlink signal is transmitted to a tag using a transceiver. An uplink signal backscattered front the tag is received and demodulated using the clock signal. The uplink signal has a frequency that is a harmonic of the carrier frequency. A distance between the tag and the transceiver is calculated based on a phase of the demodulated uplink signal. A system for range finding includes a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver modulates a reference signal to downlink signal and transmits the downlink signal. The transceiver receives and demodulates an uplink signal. The processor is configured to receive the demodulated uplink signal and calculate a distance between the tag and the transceiver using a phase of the demodulated uplink signal.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a phase correcting apparatus and method of the transmission signal of the vehicle radar apparatus and vehicle radar apparatus with the same. The present embodiments may provide, in the vehicle radar apparatus including the plurality of transmission channels for simultaneously transmitting transmission signals, the phase correcting apparatus and the vehicle radar apparatus for determining the phase adjustment value at the first transmission time based on a source transmission signal applied to the phase shifter included in each transmission channel and a distortion transmission signal extracted from the coupler included in each transmission channel, and compensating the phase of the target detection transmission signal transmitted at a subsequent second transmission time point based on the phase adjustment value. According to the present embodiments, it is possible to improve the quality of the radar reception signal and increase the accuracy of the target information.

    摘要: When measuring a distance between communication apparatuses, influence by a frequency offset between communication apparatuses is suppressed.
    A communication apparatus includes a frequency offset acquisition unit, a time acquisition unit, a phase acquisition unit, and a distance generation unit. The frequency offset acquisition unit acquires a frequency offset between frequencies used for transmission/reception by respective ones of the communication apparatuses. The time acquisition unit acquires transmission/reception time between the communication apparatuses. The phase acquisition unit acquires a phase relationship between frequencies used for transmission/reception. The distance generation unit generates distance information on the basis of the phase relationship.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe mechanisms for radio frequency (RF) ranging between pairs of radio units based on radio signals exchanged between units. An exemplary radio system may include a first radio unit, configured to transmit a first radio signal, and a second radio unit configured to receive the first radio signal, adjust a reference clock signal of the second radio unit based on the first radio signal, and transmit a second radio signal generated based on the adjusted reference clock signal. Such a radio system may further include a processing unit for determining a distance between the first and second radio units based on a phase difference between the first radio signal as transmitted by the first radio unit and the second radio signal as received at the first radio unit. Disclosed mechanisms may enable accurate RF ranging using low-cost, low-power radio units.
