Abstract

An optimal algorithm of measuring the delay time of binary quantized signal pulses without restrictions on the size of time discretization period has been synthesized on the basis of finite Markov chain tools using the maximum likelihood method. Practical algorithms and a device for measuring the delay time were proposed. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms was analyzed by computer simulation.
