Abstract
A system and method for determining the distance between two wireless network devices is disclosed. The present system utilizes an algorithm that relies on the power ratio between the trial signal power and the remaining signal power. Remaining signal power is defined as the power that is left after subtracting the trial signal power from the total signal power. This algorithm computes the channel frequency response and uses the phase signal at each frequency and distance to calculate the line of sight distance between two wireless network devices. This approach does not rely on eigenvectors or any prior estimate of the number of signals, and can therefore be computed quickly and efficiently.
