Estimating the term…
An electronic device and methods for providing high resolution ranging measurements are disclosed. The electronic device includes a pulse generator, a memory, an ADC, a timer, a comparator, a processing unit, connectors for coupling to a transceiver and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions, when performed by the processing unit, performs a method that determines an estimated time of arrival of a series of measurement pulses in the signal and turns on, prior to the estimated time of arrival, the ADC to capture the series of measurement pulses using a first resolution provided by sampling the signal at a rate equal to or greater than the Nyquist rate. The ADC remains on for a fixed time period sized to capture the series of measurement pulses.
An electronic device for providing distance measurements, the electronic device comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium having a sequence of program instructions which, when executed by a processing unit in an electronic device that is coupled to a transceiver and that comprises a pulse generator and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), perform a method for providing distance measurements, the method comprising:
