SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTICAL SENSING

Abstract:

A processing system for an optical sensing device may comprise receiver circuitry and a determination module. The processing system may also include drive circuitry configured to drive a light source to emit light. The receiver circuitry is coupled to a photodetector, and the receiver circuitry is configured to acquire a resulting signal from the photodetector, and generate a measurement of light received by the photodetector based on the resulting signal. The receiver circuitry includes high-pass filter circuitry configured to high-pass filter the resulting signal to generate a high-pass filtered signal based. The determination module is configured to generate a light measurement based on the high-pass filtered signal.
