Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, polarity-coincidence, adaptive time-delay estimation (PCC-ATDE), mixed-signal techniques are provided. In some embodiments, these techniques use 1-bit quantized signals and negative-feedback architectures to directly determine a time-delay between signals at analog inputs and convert the time-delay to a digital number.
