In this embodiment, since the narrow-linewidth DFB laser is used for emitting a continuous wave signal, the narrower the linewidth of the narrow-linewidth DFB laser is, the more accurate the frequency value of the beat signal obtained by mixing is, and the continuous wave laser can be any other type of narrow-linewidth laser, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 18, as shown in fig. 18, the product of mixing i and (4) is the sum and difference of two frequency components, and the detector and its amplifying circuit will not respond because the sum of two frequencies is too high, and only the difference of two frequencies can be output.
i- (4) =f+120 mhz+Δf-f=120 mhz+Δf, the frequency difference is positive, and the frequency difference is valid;
(4) -i = f-f-120MHz- Δf= -120MHz- Δf, the frequency difference being negative, the frequency difference being invalid;
since Δf is between +/-37MHz, only 120MHz+Δf is the positive frequency component as shown above, and can be detected effectively.
If the i signal is connected in series to the adjacent APD channel and mixed with the local oscillator (3), the mixed products are respectively:
i- (3) =f+120 MHz + [ delta ] f-f-120MHz = [ delta ] f, the frequency difference can be filtered;
(3) -i=f+120 MHz-f-120MHz- Δf= - Δf; the frequency difference may be filtered out.
The Δf or Δf may be filtered using a high pass filter, such as a band pass filter having a cut-off frequency of 80MHz, and the signal of Δf or Δf may be filtered using an analog filter or a digital filter.
ii and (3) are:
ii- (3) =f+ [ delta ] f-f-120MHz = [ delta ] f-120MHz, the frequency difference is negative, the frequency difference is not valid;
(3) -ii = f +120MHz-f- Δf = 120MHz- Δf; the frequency difference is positive and the frequency difference is valid.

Referring to fig. 13, the laser receiving module 13 includes:
the lens component 131 is configured to receive the multiple reflected laser beams reflected by the scanning device, and focus the multiple reflected laser beams;

a processing circuit 133 for performing signal preprocessing on the mixed signal to calculate the distance and speed of the target.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 4 and 13, the first collimating module 1124 emits multiple laser emission beams into the detection area through the scanning device, the lens assembly 131 receives multiple reflected laser beams, performs focusing processing, and emits the focused reflected laser beams to the detector 132. The second collimation module 1131 sends the multiple local oscillation laser beams to the detector 132, where one local oscillation laser beam corresponds to one reflected laser beam one by one.
The detector 132 performs beat frequency processing on the reflected continuous wave signal component of one local oscillation laser beam and one corresponding local oscillation laser beam respectively to obtain beat frequency signals and reflected continuous wave signal components of one local oscillation laser beam, and thus a mixed signal is obtained. The detector may be an Avalanche Photodiode (APD) array or a balanced detector, without limitation.
In this embodiment, the processing circuit includes:
the amplifying circuit is used for amplifying the mixed information to obtain an amplified mixed signal;
the sampling circuit is used for sampling the amplified mixed signal to obtain a sampling signal;
and the processing circuit is used for carrying out signal separation processing on the sampling signal to obtain the beat frequency signal component and the pulse signal component, and calculating the distance and the speed of the target according to the beat frequency signal and the pulse signal component.
When the laser emission beam encounters the target and returns to the reflected laser beam, and the reflected laser beam is converged on the detector by the lens assembly, the pulse signal component in the reflected laser beam is converted into an electric pulse by the detector, and the reflected continuous wave signal component with the frequency f is mixed with the local oscillation laser beam (with the frequency f+f1) and the local oscillation laser beam (with the frequency f+f2) on the surface of the detector, so as to obtain a coherent beat signal. Since the optical frequency f is extremely high, only the frequency components of (f+f1) -f and (f+f2) -f can be amplified by the subsequent amplifying circuit. After the beat signal is amplified together with the pulse signal component, it is sampled by a sampling circuit, which may comprise a high-speed analog-to-digital converter ADC. The beat signal and the pulse signal components can be separated in the data domain by different frequency filters. Specifically, the pulse signal component and the beat signal have the following characteristics: the pulse signal is generally less than 200MHz in bandwidth, the main energy is concentrated in tens of megahertz, and the beat signal energy is concentrated above 100 MHz. The pulse width is only a few nanoseconds, the beat frequency of the continuous wave is uninterrupted, and the distance and the speed of the target can be calculated according to the characteristics of the beat frequency signal and the pulse signal component. The pulse signal component calculates the distance of the target using the TOF algorithm. The beat signal calculates the relative velocity according to the doppler shift formula. This allows each output point cloud to carry speed information.
In this embodiment, the Doppler formula is as follows:
wherein v represents the speed of the target, lambda represents the wavelength, f 0 Representing the carrier frequency, f d Representing the frequency shift determined from the beat signal.
From the above formula, the following formula can be obtained;
wherein v represents the speed of the target, lambda represents the wavelength, f d Representing the frequency shift determined from the beat signal.
In one embodiment, the processing circuit is configured to calculate the speed information of the target according to the following formula;
wherein v represents the speed of the target, lambda represents the wavelength, f d Representing the frequency shift determined from the beat signal.
Referring to fig. 14, when the relative speed between the target and the radar is zero, the beat frequency shift of the reflected continuous wave signal component and the local oscillation laser beam is equal to the frequency offset value (f 1 or f 2). When the relative speed of the target and the radar is not zero, the beat frequency generated according to the Doppler frequency shift formula has f d Frequency offset of (1), i.e. beat frequency f1+f d Or f2+f d . If the beat frequency value is larger than the frequency shift value, the target is close to the laser radar; if the beat frequency value is less than the frequency shift value, the target is far from the laser radar. Therefore, the moving direction of the target relative to the laser radar can be determined according to the magnitude relation between the beat frequency value and the frequency moving value, and the accuracy of the speed is improved.
