Abstract :
A novel approach using differential reception and nulling interferometry is devoted to weak non line of sight (NLOS) signals measurement. Performed either in the spatial domain or in the spectral domain, this method can achieve line of sight (LOS) dimming, and then NLOS emphasis. This operation, tested in the millimeter band, is very relevant for applications requiring phase carrier measurement such as accurate indoor positioning
