Abstract

Through this paper we aim to measure a distance using an optical signal. The distance measurement is based on the time of the flight (TOF) method via correlation technique. A method of stretching the time scale is used to decrease the operating frequency. A proof of concept using Matlab results in a distance resolution less than 17mm. The algorithm is implemented on a standalone cheap digital signal controller and the measured results show high accuracy comparable to the simulated one. The optical transmitters and optical receivers are implemented using off shelf components.
