The Point to Point Distance Measuring technology is a method for non-contact distance measurement using laser (i.e. laser range finding) or microwave (i.e. radar) emissions. This disruptive technology has several distinct and important characteristics, including:

• Low Cost, uses readily available low-bandwidth electronics

• High Accuracy, theoretically on the order of 0.001", unaffected by target velocity

• Quick

• Compact

• Inches to Mile Measuring, depending on emission power and type of carrier

• Microwave, ultrasonic, or optical (eye safe visible laser) carriers

• Digital data, received and transmitted during measurement

An extraordinarily simple proof of concept has been constructed to demonstrate this technology and it has been able to measure distances in excess of 120 feet with better that 1mm91/25th inch) accuracy. View Prototype
