distance of radio transmitter from receiver
Hi guys,
ok, I've got an idea but it's based on determining the distance of a transmitter from a receiver, I originally thought about a synchronised clock in both units, the transmitter sends the time it has out, by the time the receiver unit gets this time a period has passed (probably a few millionth's of a second) and a diff time is detemined, combined with the speed those waves travel, will reveal the distance. however, physics decided this idea wouldnt work, since all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light, apparently, DAMN, back to the drawing board. I'm here to see if anyone has any way they can determine the distance from transmitter to receiver, this isnt a great distance either and it needs to be fairly, accurate, if it's not possible, it's not possible, I just wanted to ask people far cleverer than i. signal strength perhaps? literally I am talking about a transmitter within a cuboid shaped enclosure around 10m maximum and being able to pinpoint that transmitter within that enclosure accurately, to around 1cm, perhaps 2cm. like I said, if it's not possible, well then hey, thanks anyway, but perhaps it is and therefore perhaps my idea will still be workable. thanks guys! I'll be waiting for your answers or solutions kosh |
