The work is being designed to replace the traditional expensive sampling method, which is used in most of the pulses radar application as core of the processing unit. The unit has been designed, implemented and tested on a LIDAR, which was accommodating a sampling oscilloscope to perform the signal processing. This processing unit could be considered as a low cost time-to-digital converter module.en621conference paper
