  • Patent number: 9116511
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to measure a precision event time in such a way to make a reference data in accordance with a standard time reference frequency signal and to make a measurement data by using an apparatus with the same structure as a reference data with respect to a signal to be measured and to compare the measurement data with a reference data, whereby temperature effects can be minimized by making the time changes due to temperature changes occurring between two apparatuses happen equally, by providing the same structure and parts to a reference signal circuit apparatus for an event time measurement and a signal circuit apparatus to be measured, and the zero point adjustment is performed during the real time operation, so the system is not needed to stop.

  • Patent number: 8976341
    Abstract: An optoelectric control apparatus for a satellite laser ranging system comprises a communication controller for externally receiving optoelectric control data. Memory is connected to the communication controller and stores a round trip distance to a satellite. A laser generation control unit is connected to the communication controller and outputs a laser fire signal. A signal measurement unit receives a laser start time. A real-time conversion unit is connected to the signal measurement unit and the communication controller, and converts a predicted laser arrival time into real time. A Lagrange interpolation processor is connected to the real-time conversion unit and the memory, and calculates a time at which laser light fired by a laser transmission unit returns back to a laser reception unit (laser arrival time). The clock unit is connected to a time measurement unit, the real-time conversion unit, a register unit, and a delay unit, and outputs time information.
