A method for determining the distance and relative speed (v) of at least one object remote from an observation point, comprising the following method steps: - continuously emitting at least a first and a second electromagnetic signal with a respective signal period (T Chirp) from the observation point; - the signals consisting of signal sections (bursts) of constant frequency and of a prescribed equal duration, the signal sections of a signal sweeping a prescribed modulation range with frequency steps; - the signals being emitted in a fashion interleaved with one another by virtue of the fact that the signal sections of the various signals are mutually adjacent in time, a frequency hop being present between the mutually adjacent signal sections of different signals, - receiving the signals reflected as echo signal from the object, and carrying out a mixing operation with the transmitted signal in order to transform the received signal into the baseband in a common analog channel; - carrying out an analog-to-digital conversion and sampling the received signal sections of the echo signals and sampling at least one sample for each signal section; - separately evaluating the samples for the various echo signals of the various emitted signals by means of a Fourier transformation stage, and determining the frequency of peaks corresponding to the signal sections and determining a phase difference between the echo signals of the emitted signals, the signal sections of the second signal being emitted at the same frequencies as corresponding signal sections of the first signal, wherein a relative speed is directly and unambiguously determined by determining the phase difference between signal sections of the signals (A,B), which are emitted at the same frequency characterized in that at first the relative speed is determined as being independent from the distance of the object and is input into the frequency measurement being ambiguous in itself so that it is possible to use the frequency measurement to determine the distance unambiguously in relation to the determined speeds. - continuously emitting at least a first and a second electromagnetic signal with a respective signal period (T Chirp) from the observation point; - the signals consisting of signal sections (bursts) of constant frequency and of a prescribed equal duration, the signal sections of a signal sweeping a prescribed modulation range with frequency steps; - the signals being emitted in a fashion interleaved with one another by virtue of the fact that the signal sections of the various signals are mutually adjacent in time, a frequency hop being present between the mutually adjacent signal sections of different signals, - receiving the signals reflected as echo signal from the object, and carrying out a mixing operation with the transmitted signal in order to transform the received signal into the baseband in a common analog channel; - carrying out an analog-to-digital conversion and sampling the received signal sections of the echo signals and sampling at least one sample for each signal section; - separately evaluating the samples for the various echo signals of the various emitted signals by means of a Fourier transformation stage, and determining the frequency of peaks corresponding to the signal sections and determining a phase difference between the echo signals of the emitted signals, the signal sections of the second signal being emitted at the same frequencies as corresponding signal sections of the first signal, wherein a relative speed is directly and unambiguously determined by determining the phase difference between signal sections of the signals (A,B), which are emitted at the same frequency
