Double Path Measurement Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Double Path = Integer part of Wave Length*Wavelength+Fraction of Wavelength
2D = M*λ+δλ
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Double Path - (Measured in Meter) - Double path is the distance travelled by the wave multiplied by 2.
Integer part of Wave Length - Integer part of wave length is the coarser part of the larger wavelength measurement while the finer part is determined more accurately from the smaller wavelength measurement.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
Fraction of Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Fraction of wavelength is the value we get when wavelength is multiplied to the phase difference.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Integer part of Wave Length: 32 --> No Conversion Required
Wavelength: 20 Meter --> 20 Meter No Conversion Required
Fraction of Wavelength: 9.6 Meter --> 9.6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

2D = M*λ+δλ --> 32*20+9.6

Evaluating ... ...

2D = 649.6

Fraction Part of Wavelength given Double Path Measurement

Go Fraction of Wavelength = (Double Path-(Integer part of Wave Length*Wavelength))

Integer Part of Wavelength for given Double Path

Go Integer part of Wave Length = (Double Path-Fraction of Wavelength)/Wavelength

Wavelength given Double Path

Go Wavelength = (Double Path-Fraction of Wavelength)/Integer part of Wave Length

Double Path Measurement

Go Double Path = Integer part of Wave Length*Wavelength+Fraction of Wavelength

Fraction Part of Wavelength

Go Fraction of Wavelength = (Phase Difference/(2*pi))*Wavelength

Double Path Measurement Formula

Double Path = Integer part of Wave Length*Wavelength+Fraction of Wavelength
2D = M*λ+δλ

How Distance is measured using Phase Difference method?

The electromagnetic waves are transmitted to a retroreflector (single or multiple prisms) which instantly returns them to the transmitting instrument. The instrument measures the phase shift. By comparison of the phase shift between the transmitted and the reflected signals, the time and thus the distance can be determined.

How to Calculate Double Path Measurement?

Double Path Measurement calculator uses Double Path = Integer part of Wave Length*Wavelength+Fraction of Wavelength to calculate the Double Path, The Double Path Measurement formula is defined as it establishes the relation between the phase difference and the integer part of wavelength. Double Path is denoted by 2D symbol.
