We consider the problem of estimating the distance, or range, between two locations by measuring the phase of multiple sinusoidal signals transmitted between the locations. Traditional estimators developed for optical interferometry include the beat wavelength and excess fractions methods. More recently, estimators based on the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) and least squares have appeared. Recent research suggests the least squares estimator to be the most accurate in many cases. The accuracy of all of these range estimators depends upon the wavelengths chosen. This leads to the problem of selecting wavelengths that maximize accuracy. Procedures for selecting wavelengths for the beat wavelength and excess fractions methods have previously been described, but procedures for the CRT and least squares estimators are yet to be developed. In this paper, we develop an algorithm to automatically select wavelengths for use with the least square range estimator. The algorithm minimizes an optimization criterion connected with the mean square error. Interesting properties of a particular class of lattices simplify the criterion allowing minimization by depth first search. Monte-Carlo simulations indicate that wavelengths that minimize the criterion can result in considerably more accurate range estimates than wavelengths selected by ad hoc means.
