Abstract

This paper investigates the random bitstream ranging model and proposes a new output SNR model based on statistical optics theory. We study the relationship of SNR and the fraction of 1 in bitstream with different dead time by Monte Carlo simulation. Theory model is almost consistent with Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that with the fraction of randomly distributed 1-bits in transmitted pattern increased, the system SNR gets better first and then gets worse. Best pattern of transmitted bit stream according to different dead time leads to the best SNR. According to new output SNR model, low dead time brings better SNR. The system SNR increases firstly then gets down with the growing signal photon counts. At last, Gaussian distribution timing jitter of 440ps FWHM is introduced to reconstruct received bitstream pattern formed from the arrival times of returning single photon. We find that higher rate of bitstream brings higher possibility error of single time value. Suitable bits rate is restricted to 1 GHz according to jitter of 440ps FWHM to reduce the probability of ranging error.
