DISTANCE SEPARATION TRACKING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A distance separation tracking process comprising:
- transmitting a periodic radio frequency original signal from a beacon transceiver, said original signal being defined by a mathematical equation;
receiving the original periodic signal from said beacon transceiver at a remote target transceiver as a target received periodic signal;
retransmitting the target received periodic signal to said beacon transceiver as a return periodic signal;
sampling data points of said return periodic signal; and
calculating a phase differential between the original periodic signal and the returned periodic signal correlating to a distance separation range between said beacon transceiver and said target transceiver.

Abstract
A distance separation tracking process is provided that includes the transmission of a periodic radio frequency original signal from a beacon transceiver. The original periodic signal from the beacon transceiver is received at a remote target transceiver as a target received periodic signal. The target retransmits the received periodic signal to the beacon transceiver as a return periodic signal. Data points of the return periodic signal are sampled and used to calculate a phase differential between the original periodic signal and the return periodic signal that correlates to the distance separation range between the beacon transceiver and the target transceiver.

14. A distance separation tracking process comprising:
-
transmitting a periodic original signal from a master transmitter, the periodic original signal being defined by a mathematical equation, said master transmitter having a known position; receiving the periodic original signal from said master transmitter at a remote target receiver and a beacon transceiver, said beacon transceiver having a known beacon transceiver location; retransmitting the periodic original signal from said beacon transceiver to said target receiver as a retransmitted periodic signal; sampling data points of the retransmitted periodic signal; and calculating a phase differential between the original periodic signal and the retransmitted periodic signal at said target receiver to determine a distance separation range between said target receiver relative to said master transmitter and said beacon transceiver. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
