A radio altimeter using a linear oscillator to transmit a saw-toothed signal comprises, in addition to this first oscillator, a second linear oscillator to transmit, in synchronism with the first linear oscillator, another saw-toothed signal with a given saw-tooth duration Td. The plateaux of the sawteeth of the two saw-toothed signals are at a distance from each other equal to a value f. The test consists in obtaining a height h' by beats between the two saw-toothed signals and computing a standard height he=f.c.Td/dF.2 where c is the speed of light and dF the duration of each saw-tooth of the other signal. Application to all FM/CW radio altimeters.
