Abstract
A method includes receiving electromagnetic signals containing pulses. The method also includes converting the pulses contained in the electromagnetic signals into an electrical signal that identifies at least some of leading or trailing edges of the pulses. The method further includes repeatedly (i) accumulating the electrical signal to generate a voltage using an integrating circuit and (ii) resetting the integrating circuit in response to the voltage of the integrating circuit meeting or exceeding a threshold voltage. In addition, the method includes providing a count value identifying a number of times that the voltage of the integrating circuit meets or exceeds the threshold voltage. Each time the voltage of the integrating circuit meets or exceeds the threshold voltage is representative of a specific number of pulses received in the electromagnetic signals.
