  • Apparatus for determining distance information, time of flight light source and a docking station
    Patent number: 10379221
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining distance information. The apparatus includes a control module configured to control a transmission of a request signal by a transmit module. The request signal includes information related to a request for information related to a light modulation of a modulated light emitted by a time of flight light source. The control module is configured to provide a modulation reference signal to a time of flight sensor circuit for determination of distance information after the request for information related to the light modulation. The modulation reference signal is based on a receive signal received by a receiver module from the time of flight light source.
