Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the position determination of objects (62, 707,84, 96) by means of communication signals, in which a transceiver capable of wireless communication transmits communication signals, the transceiver (51) being capable of simultaneous transmission and reception, and wherein the communication signals are at least partially reflected as reflection signals on at least one object (62, 707, 84, 96) in a signal propagation zone and the transceiver (51) receives the reflection signals. The method is characterized in that phase information of the reflection signals or communication signals are determined. The invention further relates to a corresponding device and to a use of the device.
