Method for validation of measurement of distance to radioelectric reflector with respect to measurement antenna, involves comparing reflected signal level with maximum level, and sending alarm signal if signal level exceeds maximum level

摘要

The method involves measuring a distance between a radioelectric reflector and a measurement antenna (610), and measuring time intervals between receptions of signals from the reflector (620). A maximum level of signal that can be received by the antenna is determined (630), where the signal from the reflector is amplified (640), so that the amplified signal is received. The reception time of the signal is measured (650), and the level of the signal is compared (660) with the maximum level. An alarm signal is sent (670) if the level of the signal exceeds the maximum level. An independent claim is also included for a computer program for validation of the measurement of the distance to a radioelectric reflector with respect to a measurement antenna.
