Both transmitter-receivers set off at least one signal round in each case. A signal round comprises the steps: a) transmitting at least one request data frame of a first transmitter-receiver to a second transmitter-receiver at a request transmitting time (TTA1, TTB2), b) receiving the request data frame at the second transmitter-receiver at a request receiving time (TRB1, TRA2), c) transmitting a reply data frame from the second transmitter-receiver to the first transmitter-receiver at a reply transmitting time (TTB1, TTA2), which has a respective reply time interval (TreplyB1, TreplyA2) from the request receiving time (TRB1, TRA2) and detecting the reply time interval, d) receiving the reply data frame at the first transmitter-receiver setting off the signal round and detecting an allocated reply receiving time (TRA1, TRB2).

Abstract: Method for wireless information transfer, in particular for mobile communications, in which an input signal (s1, g4) is subjected to a modulation in a transmitter (2 to 8) and reaches a receiver (11 to 15) through a transmission channel, whereby angle modulated pulses, carrying information and possessing a frequency spectrum, are generated in the transmitter in such a way that they can be time compressed in a receiver by means of a filter (13) with frequency dependent, differential delay time, also known as group delay, in such a way, that pulses arise with shortened duration and increased amplitude compared to the emitted pulses, and at least a portion of the information is imprinted onto the pulses using an additional modulation, independent of the angle modulation, and/or is used for controlling a parameter of the angle modulation that can then be registered in the receiver.

Abstract: The transceiver according to the invention is a transmitting and receiving device for the transmission of digital signal sequences. Chirp signals are used for signal transmission by way of the air interface, such signals making it possible for the BT-product in the transmission band to be very much greater than the BT-product in the baseband by simultaneous frequency and time spreading. The transmitting and receiving device is distinguished in that chirp signals which are different in respect of the BT-product and/or the time-frequency characteristic can be stored in a memory in order for them to be selectively called up and raised into the transmission frequency band by direct upward conversion. No mirror frequency bands are produced with this procedure so that complicated band pass filters in the carrier frequency position can be eliminated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a surface-wave transducer device—also called TAGs—and to identification systems with this device. DE 42 17 049 discloses a passive surface sensor which can be interrogated in wireless mode. In this context, energy is transmitted by radio to the sensor using an interrogation device, the interrogation being done by means of chirped transmission signals. The sensor has transducers and reflectors. The reflectors reflect the chirp signal in a time-staggered sequence, so that the sensor returns a time-staggered chirp signal to the interrogation device. The reflection principle means that the surface-wave sensor described above (also called SAW—surface acoustic wave—sensor in the following text) has a very high insertion loss of the order of 50 dB, for example.
