ABSTRACT:
An electronic distance measuring device which includes a radiation source for emitting frequency-modulated radiation along one of two paths. The electronic distance measuring device also has a device for switching the emitted radiation from one of the two paths to the other of the two paths, a detector for detecting the radiation emitted along the paths, and a device for determining a difference in phase between the emitted radiation and the detected radiation. The detection of the phase difference is performed twice between two consecutive switchings of the light paths. A distance of the electronic distance measuring device from an objective station is then calculated in accordance with the determined phase difference.
