Abstract

SE PRESENTA UN CIRCUITO Y METODO MEJORADOS PARA HACER MEDIDAS PRECISAS DEL TIEMPO DE LLEGADA SOBRE DATOS DE IMPULSOS OPTICOS DE ANCHURAS RELATIVAMENTE VARIABLES. LA INVENCION SUMINISTRA UNA SEÑAL DE ENTRADA ANALOGICA (B) QUE REPRESENTA LOS DATOS DE IMPULSOS OPTICOS RECIBIDOS, JUNTO CON UNA VERSION RETARDADA (A) DE LA SEÑAL DE ENTRADA ANALOGICA (B). EL TIEMPO DE RETRASO SE AJUSTA DE MANERA QUE LA SEÑAL ANALOGICA ORIGINAL Y LA SEÑAL ANALOGICA RETARDADA SE CRUCEN ENTRE SI EN UN PUNTO PREDETERMINADO. ESTE CRUCE SE PRODUCE CONSISTENTEMENTE EN EL MISMO PUNTO DE LA SEÑAL CON INDEPENDENCIA DEL TAMAÑO O FORMA DEL IMPULSION ANALOGICA. PREFERIBLEMENTE, EL CRUCE SE PRODUCE APROXIMADAMENTE A UN 70% DE LA AMPLITUD MAXIMA DE LA SEÑAL ANALOGICA. EL PUNTO DE CRUCE ENTRE LA SEÑAL ORIGINAL (B) Y LA SEÑAL RETARDADA (A) DISPARA LA GENERACION DE UN BORDE DELANTERO DE UN MOMENTO DE IMPULSO DE LLEGADA (E).
