ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for detecting reflected pulses from multiple targets in a field of view such that range to each target can be detected with high resolution, even when the targets are located over a relatively wide measurement range. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention can provide real-time acquisition of ranging data, and can be implemented in a practical cost-effective manner suitable for reconfiguration.
