Claim 14:
15. A use of at least one first virtual frequency switching time (t1) between a first frequency (f1) of a first signal (S1) having a first phase progression emitted from a first object and at least one first further frequency (f1w.n) of at least one first further signal (S1w.n) emitted from the first object and having a first further phase progression, and a reference time, wherein a reference signal is sent from a second object such that the reference signal exhibits a change at the reference time, in order to determine a time, a distance, a runtime or for synchronizing two time measurements;
determining a first first phase relationship (phi1.1) of the first phase progression of the first signal (S1) relative to a first further phase progression of a first first further signal (S1w.n) at the first object;
receiving a phase progression of the first signal (S1) at the second object and receiving the phase progression of the first first further signal (S1w.1) at the second object;
determining at least one first virtual frequency switching time (t1) as a time at which a phase relationship between interpolated or received phase positions of the first and the first further signal (S1, S1w.1) at the second object corresponds to the first first phase relationship (phi1.1).
