  2. Lunar Laser Ranging experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging...

    Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) is the practice of measuring the distance between the surfaces of the Earth and the Moon using laser ranging. The distance can be calculated from the round-trip time of laser light pulses travelling at the speed of light , which are reflected back to Earth by the Moon's surface or by one of several retroreflectors ...

  3. Time of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_arrival

    Two-way ranging is a cooperative method for determining the range between two radio transceiver units. When synchronisation of the oscillators of the involved transmitters is not viable, hence the clocks differ, then applying the measurement as a two ways travel to the receiver and mirrored back to the transmitter compensates for some of the ...

  4. Length measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_measurement

    Length measurement, distance measurement, or range measurement (ranging) all refer to the many ways in which length, distance, or range can be measured. The most commonly used approaches are the rulers, followed by transit-time methods and the interferometer methods based upon the speed of light .

  5. Symmetrical double-sided two-way ranging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrical_double-sided...

    Signal propagation delay between two wireless devices; Processing delay of acknowledgements within a wireless device; This method is called symmetrical double-sided two-way ranging because: It is symmetrical in that the measurements from station A to station B are a mirror-image of the measurements from station B to station A (ABA to BAB).

  6. Pseudo-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-range_multilateration

    Pseudo-range multilateration, often simply multilateration (MLAT) when in context, is a technique for determining the position of an unknown point, such as a vehicle, based on measurement of biased times of flight (TOFs) of energy waves traveling between the vehicle and multiple stations at known locations.

  7. Earth phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_phase

    Earth's angular diameter (1.9°) is four times the Moon's as seen from Earth, although because the Moon's orbit is eccentric, Earth's apparent size in the sky varies by about 5% either way (ranging between 1.8° and 2.0° in diameter).

  8. UWB ranging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UWB_ranging

    Ultra-wideband impulse radio ranging (or UWB-IR ranging) is a wireless positioning technology based on IEEE 802.15.4z standard, [1] which is a wireless communication protocol introduced by IEEE, for systems operating in unlicensed spectrum, equipped with extremely large bandwidth transceivers.

  9. Reliability (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_(statistics)

    The correlation between scores on the two alternate forms is used to estimate the reliability of the test. This method provides a partial solution to many of the problems inherent in the test-retest reliability method. For example, since the two forms of the test are different, carryover effect is less of a problem. Reactivity effects are also ...
