  • Methods and system for determining angles of sight between two devices
    Patent number: 8022873
    Abstract: A method of determining angles of sight between a receiver device having at least two reception antennas and at least one transmitter device having at least one transmission antenna for the transmission of radioelectric signals including at least two wavelengths. The determining method is based on angular phase measurements of the radioelectric signals, which are measured modulo 2? and are therefore ambiguous since they are known to within an integer number of times 2?. The ambiguity in the phase measurements is resolved in the case of an application of the determining method to a receiver device dimensioned by applying a method of design of a system for determining angles of sight. A receiver device implements the determining method, and a system for determining angles of sight includes the receiver device and at least one transmitter device.
