    The range precision of single photon pulsed ranging system is influenced by the random arrival of echo photon. Based on the statistical property of echo photon and photoelectron, the influence of the echo signal strength and pulse width on the range precision is discussed. For normal rectangular echo signal, the relation between the range precision and signal strength and pulse width is obtained. Results show that higher signal strength and narrower pulse width produce better range precision.
