Abstract :
The design and performance of a prototype range finder based on a four-port junction are presented. The four-port junction is used as a precision phase detector. The system proposed presents advantages such as compact size, low cost, low consumption, and low computational time. The principle of operation, the sensor and the results are described in this paper.
