Abstract :
Subnanosecond resolution is possible in time interval measurement using the vernier principle. Such a timing system is described which is capable of resolving events occurring within a 12 ns interval to an accuracy better than 50 ps. Factors limiting resolution have been identified and their effect quantified.
