Patent number: 11762000Abstract: A measurement device and methods for detecting distortion or interference in an environment are described herein. The measurement device comprises a transmitter and a receiver attached to a rigid body such that a position and orientation (P&O) of the receiver with respect to the transmitter is fixed.
