Have you ever wondered how a robot navigates a cluttered room or how a drone maintains its altitude with pinpoint accuracy? The secret lies in the tools used to measure distance, an often-overlooked ...
The ability to determine absolute distance to an object is one of the most basic measurements of remote sensing. High-precision ranging has important applications in both large-scale manufacturing and ...
In this month’s column, we take a look at a short-distance two-way ranging system using a 5.8-GHz carrier to supply not only precise and accurate distance measurements but also complementary ...
The Distance and Weight Measurement Using Inductive Sensing Reference Design is a sub-system design which converts a distance measurement to a weight measurement. This design is intended as a ...
It’s a bit mind-bending to realise that everything we know about the scale of the universe comes from people stuck […] ...
