Figure 6.16 <strong>Time</strong> response and amplitude spectrum <strong>of</strong> the modulation gates in<br />

the 64 x 25 pixels TOF-imager. The cut-<strong>of</strong>f frequencies are, for the<br />

1 st and the last (64 th ) gate: 270 MHz and for the 32 nd gate: 55 MHz.<br />

6.3.2 System architecture<br />

The complete <strong>3D</strong> camera system is shown in Figure 6.17. Again, system flexibility<br />

was an important factor in the camera design. The TOF-imager is controlled by the<br />

sequencer and driver boards introduced in Section 6.1; only the firmware had to be<br />

programmed anew for the sequencer.<br />
