Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010054682A1] The invention relates to a smoke detector (100), comprising (a) a radiation source (120) for transmitting an illuminating radiation (120a) comprising a time sequence of radiation pulses, (b) a radiation detector (130) for receiving measurement radiation (130a) impinging on the radiation detector (130) after at least partial scattering of the illuminating radiation (120a), (c) an amplifier circuit (140) for amplifying an output signal of the radiation detector (130), (d) an analog to digital converter (156) having a sample and hold circuit (152) for converting an analog output signal of the amplifier circuit (140) into a digital measurement value (156a), and (e) a control device (150) coupled to the radiation source (120) and the sample and hold circuit (152). The control device (150) is equipped for controlling the radiation source (120) and the sample and hold circuit (152) such that the time of a sampling point in time of the sample and hold circuit (152) relative to a radiation pulse depends on the duration of the radiation pulse. The invention further relates to a method for calibrating the described smoke detector (100).
