Abstract

The method of the interpolation measurement of the time instants of an event occurrence based on the estimation of the gravity center of a bell-shaped signal by spectral coefficients is presented. It is shown that the use of linear algorithms for estimating the spectral coefficients of a regression model allows for the picosecond accuracy of the measurements of the time intervals. The accuracy of the method is illustrated by computer simulation results.
