CARRIER PHASE DISTANCE AND VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS
First Claim
1. A measurement system device, comprising:
- a first antenna configured to receive a first signal from a transmitting device, the first signal having a carrier frequency;
a second antenna configured to receive the first signal from the transmitting device; and
a processor configured todetermine a first differential distance between the first antenna and the second antenna from the transmitting device, anddetermine a rate of change of the first differential distance.

Abstract
Systems and methods for performing distance and velocity measurements, such as by using carrier signals, are disclosed. A measurement system device may include a first antenna configured to receive a first signal from a transmitting device, the first signal having a carrier frequency, and a second antenna configured to receive the first signal from the transmitting device. The measurement system device may also include a processor configured to determine a first differential distance between the first antenna and the second antenna from the transmitting device and to determine a rate of change of the first differential distance. The processor may also be configured to estimate a geometry of the measurement system device relative to the transmitting device using the rate of change of the first differential distance.
