Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a select frequency phase measurement (SFPM) time of flight (TOF) system including an emitter and a receiver. The emitter may generate a modulated emitted signal by at least one frequency. The emitted signal may, for example, be a pulsed light signal. The receiver may generate a signal in response to receiving a reflection of the emitted signal off a target object. An ADC element may digitize a signal generated by the receiving element, and a reference signal generated by a monitored signal of the modulated emitted signal. A processing element may generate a phase signal using single frequency analysis of the digitized signals. A distance measurement signal may be generated as a function of the phase signal. Various embodiments may, for example, advantageously enable sub-millisecond sensor response times using commodity processing elements.
