A method for radio measuring applications, wherein a first radio node functions as an initiator and a second radio node as a transponder, each radio node has its own timer and a data interface, in a first step, the initiator transmits a first carrier frequency as an initial signal and the initial signal is received by the transponder during a first reception period, in a second step, a response signal with a second carrier frequency is transmitted by the transponder and the response signal is received by the initiator during a second reception period. The initial signal and the response signal are coherent at least during each sequence of steps, the carrier frequency of the initial signal is changed within one predetermined frequency domain with each repetition.
