  • Ranging method using telemetering and apparatus employing said method
    Patent number: 5194869
    Abstract: A ranging method for measuring the flight distance of a flight object is implemented by means of a simple system construction. The ranging method is also capable of continuing ranging even if an interruption occurs in data transmission. The ranging method comprises the steps of inserting ranging pulses in a telemeter signal transmitted from a transmitting apparatus provided on the flight object, separating and extracting a ranging pulse from a telemeter signal received by a receiving apparatus provided on the ground side, obtaining a time difference between the ranging pulse and a reference clock signal generated in the receiving apparatus on the basis of a time reference equal to that of the transmitting apparatus (clock signal periods t1 and t2 of both time references are equal), and calculating the flight distance.
