Abstract :
A digital technique for high-resolution estimation of occurrence time of detected events is presented. The method achieves timing precisions well below the sampling time interval for the most realistic operative conditions. Due to linearity of the procedure, the processing runs on-line and the architecture has been implemented in a configurable FPGA device with a very limited resource necessity.
