Abstract

A system and method for an efficient secure phase-based ranging using loopback calibration, including receiving, by a reflector during a current timeslot, an incoming constant tone (CT) signal having a phase shift; determining, by the reflector during the current timeslot or a previous timeslot, a phase shift correction value by using a receiver/transmitter (Rx/Tx) loopback path of the reflector; and/or generating, by the reflector, an outgoing CT signal having an updated phase shift by adjusting the phase shift of the incoming CT signal based on the phase shift correction value.
