Summary: 
This paper proposes a compact interpolation scheme dedicated to a 1-dimensional position sensitive detector (PSD) with an optical sensing pixel array. The pixels are divided into even- and odd-numbered groups and winner take all (WTA) circuits are provided to each of the groups. The simulated results show that the detecting step-width is reduced to the half of the original one after applying the interpolation scheme.
