  • LiDAR apparatus and method of operating the same
    Patent number: 11598847
    Abstract: A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) apparatus and a method of operating the LiDAR apparatus are provided. The LiDAR apparatus includes a light transmitter configured to irradiate a laser pulse towards an object, the laser pulse being generated based on a reference signal; a light receiver configured to receive the laser pulse reflected from the object and configured to obtain a first signal from the received laser pulse; and at least one processor configured to convert the first signal and the reference signal respectively into unipolar signals and configured to detect a flight time of the laser pulse based on a correlation between the converted first signal and the converted reference signal.
    Type: Grant
