Abstract
A sensor synchronization system for a sensor apparatus. The system synchronizes a local clock signal with an external timing signal. For example, the external timing signal may correspond to a pulse per second (PPS) signal received from a global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The system further generates a plurality of sensor pulses that are each offset in phase relative to the local clock signal by a respective amount. The system then receives sensor data from the sensor apparatus, and determines a timing of the sensor data in relation to the local clock signal based at least in part on the plurality of sensor pulses.
