For technical details that are not disclosed in the embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention, those skilled in the art should refer to the description of the embodiments of the method of the present invention to understand, and for brevity, will not be described again here.
The following examples further illustrate the present invention. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the detection method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:
step 301: the DDS circuit 11 generates a triangular or sawtooth baseband signal.
In practical application, the triangular wave or sawtooth wave baseband signal generated by the DDS circuit is also synchronously transmitted to the signal processor 13, so that the signal processor 13 performs time-frequency domain conversion processing on the difference frequency signal according to the synchronous baseband signal.

Step 307: the signal processor 12 performs time-frequency domain conversion on the difference frequency signal processed in step 305 according to a triangular wave or sawtooth wave baseband signal synchronized by the DDS circuit 11 to obtain frequency spectrum information of the difference frequency signal, and calculates a frequency point and a doppler shift of the difference frequency signal to determine a distance and a speed of a target object.
In the following, a specific method for calculating the distance of the target object is described in detail, and as shown in fig. 5, the specific calculation method includes:
for a target object far away from the laser radar, the intermediate frequency signal after the echo signal is mixed with the received local oscillator signal is at t1～t2Has a frequency value of fb+＝f0-fdAnd at t3～t4Has a frequency value of fb-＝f0+fdCalculating to obtain the actual difference frequency f0And Doppler frequency fdAnd then the distance and the movement speed of the target object are obtained.
Taking the calculated distance as an example, assume that the chirp rate of the triangular baseband signal generated by the DDS is: (f)H-fL) And T, the time Deltat required for the transmitting signal to be received by the receiving antenna after being reflected by the target object is as follows:
the distance of the target object can be calculated based on the above formula (1) as follows:
