Abstract:

The issues of designing a receiving system of a pulsed laser rangefinder with digital signal processing for determining range are addressed, and its hardware is described. The energy characteristics of the rangefinder are calculated and the range determination precision is estimated.

Keywords:

avalanche photodiodes, form of probing pulse, signal-to-noise ratio, threshold level, lens, wavelength, double-ear system for determining range
