Title
Receiver and Method for Determinig a Time Measure Depending on a Time of Arrival of a Pulse Signal
Abstract
A receiver (100) for determining a time measure depending on a time of arrival of a pulse signal (105) having a sequence of pulses from a transmitter comprises an integrator (110) having a variable and controllable integration window, extending from a starting point to an integrator sampling point, an integrator controller (120) for controlling the integration window in a time-successive way so that the sampling points of successive integration windows are changed by a time delay from a current integration window to a later integration window, wherein the time delay is smaller than half of the integration window, and an output processor (130) for generating the time measure (135) as an indication indicating which later integration window has a sampled integrator value exceeding a threshold or being larger than a sampled integrator value for a timely preceding or timely succeeding integration window.
