Abstract

A technique for time interval measurement is provided. First and second signal components are received, sampled and digitized. The first signal component is derived from a trigger signal that causes or indicates generation 5 of the second signal component. A time interval between the first and second signal components is determined based on a reference time defined by the sampled and digitized first signal component and based on a reference time defined by the sampled and digitized second signal component.
