Abstract: The invention relates to a distance measuring device and a suitable method for determining a distance which provides for continuous determination of the distance which can therefore also be made discrete and in addition is easy to handle and provides for a large variety of applications. The distance measuring device comprises analytical electronics and a sensor facility, which comprises at least one coupling probe for feeding an emitted signal into a conducting structure with reflection body. Moreover, the conducting structure comprises a feeding block with a feeding area connecting an HF transceiver via a wave guide with dielectric support system to the coupling probe.

Abstract: A distance measuring device is capable of measuring a distance to a piston with a cylinder both discretely and continuously. The distance measuring device includes a coupling probe located axially symmetrically with respect to a piston rod within the cylinder. The coupling probe transmits a continuous wave electromagnetic signal into the cylinder and detects its reflection to measure the distance to the piston while the piston is moving.

Abstract: Described is a distance-measuring device and a method for determining a distance, which uses a sensor in the form of a cavity resonator to continuously perform a distance determination and allows diverse possible uses.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a radar range finder for high-precision, contactless range measurement, which is based on the FMCW principle and operates with digital signal processing at a limited frequency shift. One exemplary embodiment is described.

Abstract: A process for controlling the detonation of a mine for the combating of vehicles, in particular armored vehicles such as tanks, with an electronically-triggered detonating arrangement and, a mine including a triggering device which is actuated pursuant to the inventive process. The detonating arrangement is only triggered when a receiver which is connected ahead thereof has determined requisite, preset aggregate vehicular criteria in a vehicle approaching the mine. The receiver is provided with a pattern comparator which is supplied from a pattern storage in accordance with a pregiven vehicular type criterium and with a detector receiving signal from the currently detected vehicle.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement in a tracking or search head which is equipped with a two-axis cardan frame system for the movements of a sensor relative to the search head. In the sensor arrangement of the above constructive type, the cardan frame system and the sensor which is axially offset ahead thereof, are supported by paired spherical surfaces which are passed through by a spine passageway and are interconnected through the intermediary of a parallelogram linkage.
