Zusammenfassung:An image sensor for measuring a depth of an object disposed in an unambiguous range is provided. The image sensor includes: a modulation clock generating circuit configured to generate N modulation clock signals respectively having N phases; a demodulation clock generating circuit configured to generate N demodulation clock signals respectively having N phases respectively corresponding to the N modulation clock signals; a phase selection circuit configured to select one modulation clock signal from among the N modulation clock signals to output as a pre-modulation signal, based on a random number, and select, from among the N demodulation clock signals, and output as N pre-demodulation signals corresponding to the pre-modulation signal, based on the random number; and a time gating circuit configured to control a time at which the pre-modulation signal and the N pre-demodulation signals are applied, based on the unambiguous range.
