Distance sensor device for distance determination by operating time measurement of signal, has control system signal-effectively connected with amplifying unit, and controls amplitude of amplified receiving signal by control signal

摘要

The distance sensor device (10) has a transmitting unit (12) and a receiving unit (14), which provides a received signal. An amplifying unit (28) is provided for amplifying received signal. A control system (30) is signal-effectively connected with the amplifying unit, and controls the amplitude of amplified receiving signal by control signal. A control signal analysis unit (44) is signal-effectively coupled to the control system, and is provided for the evaluation of control signal. An independent claim is included for a method for distance measurement by operating time measurement of signal.
