Abstract

A transceiver for distance measurements between the transceiver and an apparatus is provided. The transceiver has a transmitter configured to emit a first signal portion to be emitted at a first center frequency and a second signal portion to be emitted at a second center frequency so that the first signal portion to be emitted is radiated back from the apparatus to the transceiver as a first reflected signal portion and so that the second signal portion to be emitted is radiated back from the apparatus to the transceiver as a second reflected signal portion. In addition, the transceiver has a receiver configured to receive the first reflected signal portion radiated back from the apparatus to the transceiver and the second reflected signal portion radiated back from the apparatus to the transceiver. Furthermore, the transceiver has a measuring module configured to determine a distance between the transceiver and the apparatus.
