ABSTRACT:
A time-of-flight ranging system, such as a keyless access Control system, comprises a first part and a second part, e.g., a portable device such as a key fob. Both parts have a transceiver for effecting communication with each other. At least the first part includes a device, e.g., a processor, for determining the distance between the two parts based on time-off-light. To save power, when the two parts are a relatively great distance apart, a time-of-flight measuring device computes the time based on a relatively coarse algorithm, and when the parts are relatively close, the computation is carried-out using a more precise algorithm. The clock frequency may be reduced when the two parts are a relatively great distance apart, and increased when they are closer. Further the transmitter power may be reduced when the two parts are relatively close together and increased when they are a relatively great distance apart.
