A method of measuring the distance between two objects and/or the speed of one object in relation to the other, the objects incorporating respectively a transmitter-receiver unit and a transponder or reflector, in which method a phase comparison is made between a signal transmitted by the transmitter-receiver unit and a signal received in the transmitter-receiver unit and transmitted from the transponder or reflector. In accordance with the invention the transmitter-receiver unit is caused to transmit signals of microwave frequency, preferably about 2450 MHz, this transmission comprising the transmission of a first signal having a first frequency, the transmission of at least one second signal having a higher or lower frequency, and the transmission of a third signal having the same frequency as the first mentioned signal, wherewith the phase differences O &cir& / between the transmitted signals are formed, these phase differences corresponding to the distance between the transmitter-receiver unit and the transponder. |
