Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for
- Runtime measurement of a signal between two events in which the phase shift between the signal when a first event occurs and the signal at the occurrence of the second event is determined.
- the invention also relates to an arrangement for
- Runtime measurement of a signal between two events with a transmitting / receiving unit that receives a pulse of a
- the method and the arrangement may be for a
- the proposed solution is suitable for various applications in which a 3D detection of the environment is advantageous.
- the invention is versatile, for example for determining transit times and latencies in the
- Solid-state 3D lidar can be described in terms of the horizontal position in the x-y plane as follows: One or more light sources emit light to an object. The reflected light from the object is using a
- Sensor matrix is called a pixel.
- One-dimensional 1D distance measurements for each individual pixel in the sensor matrix can thus be used to determine the distance from individual objects in the surroundings of the sensor system.
- each point in the environment is indicated by its distance from the lidar (z-coordinate, see below) and the 2D-position of the pixel (x-y-coordinate).
- the 1D distance measuring systems for conventional lidar systems can be divided into two main categories: a) Direct time of flight (DToF) method
- Timers are used to control the clock
- Time difference between the emitted pulse and the pulse reflected by the object to measure is the same as the emitted pulse and the pulse reflected by the object to measure.
- EHF extremely high frequency
- the DToF method of ranging is more likely to be for longer distances, e.g. 200 m or more, suitable. b) Distance measurement based on the phase shift
- Intensity of the emitted light from the light source modulated by means of a periodic continuous RF signal The phase shift between the emitted signal and the reflected signal (Df) is determined. This phase shift Df is directly proportional to the distance of the object.
- Df phase shift between the emitted signal and the reflected signal
- Phase shift (Df) to determine.
- Df Phase shift
- Distances suitable e.g. up to 50 m or 100 m. Another limitation is that
- the modulation frequency is one of several factors that determine the maximum distance to the object.
- JP2016183974 (A) relates to a DToF method which uses complex signal processing algorithms to perform distance measurement for each pixel.
- Algorithms require accumulative oversampling techniques and sophisticated signal processing approaches
- Each pixel in the sensor matrix contains one
- Timer which is the time between the emitted and
- Solid state 3D lidar sensors are known from US 20160161600, whose distance measuring system is based on the concept of "optical phased array.” The concept uses several light sources that emit coherent signals with the same intensity
- Phase control is used to generate a far-field radiation pattern in the desired direction.
- Phase control increases the cost and complexity of the sensors.
- a problem that must be considered is the fact that the generated radiation pattern has one main lobe (HK) and several sidelobes (NK). It is desirable to produce a very narrow main lobe, where the HK power should be high compared to NK power to increase the resolution of the system.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a solution for the transit time measurement of a signal between a first and a second event, which can be carried out with great accuracy, at high speed and with low computational complexity.
- Transmission medium is to be understood as the medium through which the corresponding physical signal propagates, for example air or other gaseous media, water or other fluids or solids.
- the term of reflection should not be limited to, for example, sound or light reflections
- Runtime measurement can be used, for example in the mobile sector, is under reflection each

- the method-side solution provides that a method of the type mentioned is formed by the fact that a modulation signal is generated, the phase position is determined as the first signature for the occurrence of the signal in the first event that the phase angle of
- Modulation signal is determined as a second signature for the occurrence of the signal in the second event and that the transit time is determined as the difference of the phase positions of the first and the second signature.
- the determination of the difference of the phase positions can be done digitally, wherein the two signatures are sampled and thus the digital signatures after the time of their occurrence in the phase of the modulation signal
- Event sending and the second event is a receiving the signal, it is provided that at a transmitter of the transmitting / receiving unit, a pulse of a physical signal in a transmission medium
- Transmitter / receiver unit is a reflection of the pulse received and from the time difference Dt between the pulse and the reflection and the transit time of the physical signal in the transmission medium, the distance between the
- Transmitter / receiver unit and a measurement object is calculated and that a periodically repeated with a frequency modulation signal is generated that during the transmission of the pulses
- Modulationssignals are stored during the transmission of the pulse as the first value pattern, that while receiving the reflection the
- Modulation signal during reception of the reflection are stored as a second value pattern, and that the time difference At from a comparison of
- the shift of the value patterns to one another is very easily ascertainable, e.g. through which the coordinates of
- the method can also be realized in that the reflection of the pulse is detected by a plurality of sensors each of a pixel of a sensor matrix. In this case, a single signal is sent, which then several Reflections generated by the multiple sensors are generated, and for each sensor, a comparison of the samples of the respective reflection with the samples of the emitted or transmitted signal as above
- a plurality of pulses to be transmitted and their reflections to be received, for example by a pixel in each case transmitting its own pulse in a transmission / reception matrix and detecting the reflection of this pulse.
- each pulse of a pixel is coded with a code of the pixel and only the
- Reflections having the code matching the pixel can be detected.
- Periods of the modulation signal each corresponding to the same Abtast Z eit Vietnamese a period of the modulation signal in another period, are stored.
- Modulation signal during the reception of the reflection as averages and / or the digital samples of the
- Mean values are stored.
- the comparison of the occurrence of the second value pattern relative to the first value pattern can be realized in that a digital mapping of a period of the modulation signal in the format of the first and the second Value pattern is stored in a lookup table.
- the format means that both the digital image and the value patterns each have the same number of values and that the
- Sample rate of the analog-to-digital converter can be achieved. In principle, however, the distances in the format can also be different. Because the format for the digital signal
- Figure determines a second phase of the second value pattern.
- a phase difference is determined from the difference of the first phase position and the second phase position.
- the phase difference can be determined either as an angular difference Df from the different positions to the phase angle f or as a time difference Dt from the time of the first values of the value patterns.
- the look-up table is made up of a plurality of stored
- the phase can be determined from the reference to the matching value pattern.
- the look-up table may be created and stored at the beginning of the application of the method and remain unchanged over several applications of the method.
