Abstract
A digital signal processing circuit measures a distance according to a plurality of modulation frequencies including a first modulation frequency and a second modulation frequency lower than the first modulation frequency. The digital signal processing circuit is configured such that, when measuring the distance at the first modulation frequency, a storage capacitance of a light receiving elementstores or discharges electric charges according to the timing when the polarity of a phase is controlled by a light emission control unit at each transmission of a sub sequence and the distance is measured according to the electric charges stored in the storage capacitance. The digital signal processing circuit corrects the distance measurement result based on the measurement result at the first modulation frequency and the measurement result at the second modulation frequency.
