Abstract
A distance measuring device and a method for determining a distance are provided. The method includes: illuminating an object with a sequence of the light pulses, capturing one arriving light pulse corresponding to an intensity Iwithin a first integration gate, and outputting a signal value U, capturing another arriving light pulse corresponding to the intensity Iwithin a second integration gate, and outputting a signal value U, capturing one arriving light pulse corresponding to an intensity Iwithin the first integration gate and outputting a signal value U, capturing the other arriving light pulse corresponding to the intensity Iwithin the second integration gate and outputting a signal value U, and calculating the distance between the distance measuring device and the object based on U, U, U, and U.
