  • Patent number: 11353565
    Abstract: Apparatus including circuitry configured to: acquire correlation signals by correlating a photodetected signal with respective phase-shifted reference signals, the correlation signals comprising quadrature correlation signals and in-phase correlation signals. The circuitry is configured in such a way that the mean time of acquisition of the quadrature correlation signals and the mean time of acquisition of the in-phase correlation signals are substantially equal.
