Claim 22:
23. A device set up for determining at least one first virtual frequency switching time (t1) and sending a second signal and at least one second further signal, and set up for synchronization, for signal round-trip time measurement or signal runtime measurement or for measuring the phase round-trip shift or for range finding or measuring a distance change, having at least one means for receiving a first signal (S1) and at least one first further signal, and for sending the second signal and at least one second further signal from a first object, set up for determining at least one virtual frequency switching time between a first frequency (f1) of the first signal (S1) and at least one first further frequency (f1w.n) of the at least one first further signal (S1w.n);
wherein least one first further phase progression of the at least one first further signal (S1w.n) has a first first phase relationship (phi1.1) to the first phase progression of the first signal (S1) at the first object, and
wherein the device is set up to determine from a phase progression of the first signal (S1) received at the device, and of least one phase progression of the at least one first further signal (S2w.n) received at the device, the at least one virtual frequency switching time (t1.1) as a time, at which, at the device, a phase relationship between interpolated or received phase positions of the first and the first further signal (S1, S1w.1) corresponds to the first first phase relationship (phi1.1).
