High resolution measuring device for time difference
Abstract
Abstract A high resolution measuring device for measuring a time difference between continuous pulses wherein an averaging effect can be improved sufficiently. The device comprises an approximate measuring means (180) which measures a time difference between pulses, and a precision measuring means (220) which performs a precision measurement of the time difference. A reference signal generating means (100) of the precision measuring means generates a reference signal S having a different synchronism from a measurement signal, and a sampling means (200) samples the reference signal with pulses of the measurement signal. A phase detecting means (300) detects a phase difference of a sampled waveform formed by the sampling means, and a calculating processing means converts the phase difference detected by the phase detecting means into a time difference and calculates a time difference between the pulses from a measured value of the approximate measuring means and another measured value of said precision measuring means.
