ABSTRACT:
A gate-array pulse capture device senses, receives, and processes signals derived in response to received laser energy, i.e., signals reflected from a target. The reflected signals are initially in the form of light pulses and are converted into analog electrical signals in the detection module and passed on to the pulse capture device. The pulse capture device determines the time delay between the transmitted and received signals and the intensity of the reflected pulse, and then compares its shape to a predetermined pattern to locate the position and intensity of the peak. This information is then used by an image processor to locate and identify targets.
