Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019134745A1] The invention relates to a method for runtime measurement of a signal between two events, wherein the phase shift between the signal upon occurrence of a first event and the signal upon occurrence of the second event is determined, and to an arrangement for carrying out the method. The aim of the invention is to provide a runtime measurement of a signal between a first and a second event, which can be carried out with high accuracy, at high speed and with low computational effort. This aim is achieved in that a modulation signal is generated, the phase position of which is determined as the first signature for the occurrence of the signal in the case of the first event, the phase position of the modulation signal is determined as the second signature for the occurrence of the signal in the case of the second event, and the runtime is determined as the difference in phase position of the first and second signatures.
