Signal Simulation Apparatus and Method

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of simulating an initial component of a signal to approximate a component of a reference signal, the method characterized by the steps of:
i. generating a source signal which includes at least one harmonic component, andii. determining the average amplitude and duration of the source signal, andiii. referencing the amplitude of the reference signal component to be simulated, andiv. integrating the source signal over a period of time sufficient to produce a value tier the signal component amplitude approximate to the reference signal component amplitude.

主权项

1. An imaging system, comprising:
a range assessment system for assessing a range of an object; a light source for illuminating the object with a source signal; and a signal simulation apparatus for providing modulation signals to the light source and the range assessment system, wherein the modulation signals are compensated to mitigate error arising from harmonics in the source signal.
