Title :
Analog Time-Interval Counter for Injection Laser Radar Employing Integrated Circuits
Abstract :
A small, inexpensive, and accurate time-interval counter is described, which has been developed especially for GaAs optical radar systems. The output of the counter provides a voltage proportional to the time interval of a start and stop pulse. Pulse averaging can easily be accomplished. The counter measures time intervals down to 15 ns.
