Trying to conger up a means to measure distance from a radio tower.
Thought that maybe one could capture the time of reception of the direct
wave then from a reflected wave at known distance from the antenna doing
the direct capture measure the difference (shift) to know the distance
from the tower. Without a unique signature, I am presuming that a
computer program could be written to find where the 2 signals should
have matched in order to find the difference. Is this a viable idea or
have I slipped over the edge or forgotten basic physics? Dale
I think you slipped over the edge!
I know you can measure the distance to the reflector that way, and I
supose if you know the distance to the reflector, and the distance
from the relector to the source you can then comput the final leg of
the triangle...
