Abstract

Described and shown is a device for measuring the distance to an object, including at least two freely radiating transmitter units for transmitting an electromagnetic measuring signal, at least one receiver unit for receiving a reflection signal reflected on the object, and at least one evaluation unit. The at least one receiver unit forwards the received reflection signal to the at least one evaluation unit. The transmitter units and the at least one receiver unit are arranged within one measuring environment. The transmitter units and the at least one receiver unit have at least one common measuring frequency range. The operation of the transmitter units is coordinated so that the measuring signals transmitted by the transmitter units and the reflection signals resulting from the measuring signals can be differentiated from one another.
