Method of scanning signals for distance measurement by determining light transit times, has differently delayed input signals forming family of signals scanned simultaneously with basic clock

摘要

A method for scanning signals in which at least one input signal being scanned (11,13) is taken via a number of signal paths (15) having different signal transit times and the resulting differently delayed discrete signals form a family of signals and are scanned simultaneously with a basic clock (17), and the number of scanned signals are supplied in parallel for further processing. Independent claims are included for the following: (A) A device for scanning signals; (B) Application of a scanning method for distance measurement.
