SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE MOVEMENT OF A SWAYING STRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A system for determining the movement of a swaying structure to which a receiver is fixedly attached, comprising:
- at least three reference transmitters having a respective known and fixed position whose transmitted signals are formed as signals modulated onto a carrier with a defined carrier frequency, by an evaluation device which is configured to determine measured phase values from the transmitted signals of the individual reference transmitters received by the receiver while taking account of the defined carrier frequency, from which measured phase values the distance respectively from the reference transmitters and the position change of the receiver, and thus of the swaying structure, can be calculated.

Abstract
A system for determining the movement of a swaying structure, on which a receiver is fixedly mounted, is proposed, wherein at least three reference transmitters having known and fixed positions are provided and transmit the transmission signals received by the receiver at defined carrier frequencies. In addition, an evaluation unit is provided, which determines measured phase values from the received signals, taking into account the defined carrier frequency, wherein the distance from the reference transmitters and the changes in position of the receiver and therefore of the swaying structure can be calculated from said phase values.

11. An arrangement for calibrating a radio system for determining the position of at least one mobile transmitter in a three-dimensional space using a plurality of receivers of which at least one is fastened to a structure swaying due to environmental influences and comprising a system, including at least three reference transmitters having a respective known and fixed position whose transmitted signals are formed as signals modulated onto a carrier with a defined carrier frequency, by an evaluation device which is configured to determine measured phase values from the transmitted signals of the individual reference transmitters received by the receiver while taking account of the defined carrier frequency, from which measured phase values the distance respectively from the reference transmitters and the position change of the receiver, and thus of the swaying structure, can be calculated, wherein an evaluation apparatus is provided which takes account of the position change of the receiver fastened to the structure in the determination of the position of the mobile transmitter.
