Disclosed is a method for estimating the range to an object, the method comprising: transmitting a first signal towards the object; receiving a reflected echo signal reflected from the object; and determining a measured point (MP) in an N-dimensional phase space. The range to the object is estimated by selecting a candidate range estimate from a plurality of candidate range estimates, each candidate range estimate in the unambiguous range R having an unique associated point in the N-dimensional phase space positioned on range lines, and wherein a candidate range estimate is selected dependent on the distance from its unique associated point in the N- dimensional phase space to the measured point (MP), so that a single range estimate is generated using information from at least two measured phase differences without directly averaging ambiguous range estimates. |
