All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram of a coherent wind lidar according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, a coherent wind lidar includes a laser transceiver system, a pulse width modulator, and a processor; the laser transceiving system is in communication connection with the processor, and the pulse width modulator is connected with a laser in the laser transceiving system; the pulse width modulator is used for modulating laser emitted by the laser to enable the laser to send a laser pulse train; the laser pulse train includes at least two laser pulses arranged in a fixed sequence, the laser pulses corresponding to at least two different pulse widths.
The processor is configured to; acquiring an echo pulse train signal; the echo pulse train signal is a corresponding echo signal received after the laser receiving and transmitting system sends the laser pulse train; decoding the echo pulse train signals according to the fixed sequence to obtain data to be processed corresponding to the pulse width; and carrying out inversion operation on the data to be processed to obtain the atmospheric parameters of the distance resolution corresponding to each pulse width.
The laser receiving and transmitting system can emit laser to the atmosphere, receive the returned echo signal and convert the echo signal into a corresponding electric signal. The details of the laser transceiver system will be described in detail in the following embodiments of the invention, and will not be described herein.
The laser transceiver system needs to include a laser, and the pulse width modulator can modulate light emitted by the laser, that is, the pulse width modulator can adjust the width of laser pulses emitted by the laser. Generally, the pulse width modulator can output pulse signals with various widths, so that the laser can output laser pulses with various widths after the laser is modulated by the pulse width modulator, and the laser pulses arranged along a fixed sequence form a laser pulse train. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the laser pulse train emitted to the atmosphere by the laser transceiver system has at least two laser pulses with different pulse widths, and the multiple laser pulses are arranged along a fixed sequence. Correspondingly, the echo signal received by the laser transceiver system also includes echo pulses corresponding to laser pulses with different pulse widths, and the arrangement order of the echo pulses corresponds to the fixed order.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the processor needs to be in communication connection with the laser transceiver system, so that the processor can acquire the echo burst signal. In an embodiment of the present invention, the echo pulse train signal is a corresponding echo signal received after the laser transceiver system transmits the laser pulse train, that is, the echo pulse train signal is an echo signal recovered after the laser transceiver system transmits the modulated laser pulse train to the atmosphere. In general, the laser transceiver system may convert a received laser signal into an electrical signal, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the echo pulse train signal obtained by the processor may specifically be an electrical signal, and the signal is usually still composed of echo pulses arranged in a fixed order, and each echo pulse corresponds to the laser pulse.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the processor decodes the echo pulse train signal according to the fixed sequence to obtain the data to be processed corresponding to each pulse width, i.e., the data to be processed corresponding to each range resolution. The specific decoding process will be described in detail in the following embodiments of the present invention, and will not be described herein again.
Then, in the embodiment of the present invention, the processor may perform inversion operation on the data to be processed, so as to obtain the atmospheric parameters of the distance resolution corresponding to each pulse width. In general, the atmospheric parameter is wind speed and direction data corresponding to the distance resolution. For the above-mentioned specific process of inversion operation for generating wind speed and direction data, reference may be made to the prior art, and details thereof are not repeated herein.
The processor may also be in communication with the pulse width modulator, i.e. the processor may control the modulation process of the pulse width modulator to output a preset pulse width, preset fixed sequence of laser pulse trains. The specific setting process of the pulse width modulator needs to be determined according to the specific kind of the pulse width modulator, and is not specifically limited herein.
The coherent wind lidar provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a laser transceiving system, a pulse width modulator and a processor; the laser transceiving system is in communication connection with the processor, and the pulse width modulator is connected with a laser in the laser transceiving system; the pulse width modulator is used for modulating laser emitted by the laser to enable the laser to send a laser pulse train; the laser pulse train comprises at least two laser pulses arranged along a fixed sequence, and the laser pulses correspond to at least two different pulse widths; a processor for; acquiring an echo pulse train signal; the echo pulse train signal is a corresponding echo signal received after the laser receiving and transmitting system sends the laser pulse train; decoding the echo pulse train signals according to a fixed sequence to obtain data to be processed corresponding to the pulse width; and carrying out inversion operation on the data to be processed to obtain the atmospheric parameters of the distance resolution corresponding to each pulse width.
The laser is modulated by the pulse width modulator to emit laser pulse trains with different widths and arranged according to a fixed sequence, and the emitted laser can simultaneously correspond to various distance resolutions by emitting the laser pulse trains because the distance resolution of the coherent wind lidar is related to the width of the emitted laser pulse. When receiving the echo signals, decoding the echo signals according to the fixed sequence corresponding to the laser pulse train so as to obtain data to be processed corresponding to different distance resolutions; and performing inversion operation on the data to be processed, thereby obtaining the atmospheric parameters corresponding to different range resolutions, simultaneously outputting data corresponding to various range resolutions during working, and ensuring that the coherent wind lidar has higher time resolution.
The following embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the specific contents of the coherent wind lidar provided by the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, fig. 2 is a block diagram of a coherent wind lidar according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a laser pulse train.
The coherent wind lidar is distinguished from the above embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention are further limited in structure on the basis of the above embodiments of the present invention. The rest of the contents are already described in detail in the above embodiments of the present invention, and are not described herein again.
Referring to fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, the laser transceiver system further includes a circulator, a telescope, a fiber coupler and a detector; the first end of the circulator and one input end of the optical fiber coupler are connected with the output end of the laser, the second end of the circulator is connected with the telescope, the third end of the circulator is connected with the other input end of the optical fiber coupler, the output end of the optical fiber coupler is connected with the detector, the detector is connected with the processor, and the detector is used for converting optical signals into electric signals.
Specifically, the laser pulse train emitted by the laser in the laser transceiver system passes through the circulator, i.e., the optical circulator. An optical circulator is a multi-port non-reciprocal optical device, and its typical structure has at least three ports, such as a first port, a second port, a third port, and so on. The optical circulator can separate the transmitting and receiving optical paths with little energy loss. In the embodiment of the invention, a circulator is particularly used for separating the transmitting light path and the receiving light path so as to form a laser transceiving system.
In the embodiment of the invention, the laser pulse train is transmitted to the atmosphere through the telescope after passing through the circulator, and then the echo signal corresponding to the laser pulse train is transmitted to the optical fiber coupler through the telescope and the circulator. The optical fiber coupler takes the laser pulse train as reference laser, mixes the reference laser with the echo signal, and converts the laser signal after mixing into an electric signal through a detector, thereby forming an echo pulse train signal. For the specific structure of the laser transceiver system, reference may be made to the prior art, and details thereof are not repeated herein.
In general, in the embodiment of the present invention, the processor may include a data collector and an industrial personal computer, where the data collector is configured to decode the echo pulse train signal according to the fixed order to obtain to-be-processed data corresponding to the pulse width. And the industrial personal computer is used for carrying out inversion operation on the data to be processed to obtain the atmospheric parameters of the distance resolution corresponding to each pulse width. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, an interface of the processor is not specifically limited, as long as the echo data can be processed, and is not specifically limited herein.
Referring to fig. 3, in particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, there is an interval corresponding to the delay time between adjacent laser pulses in the laser pulse train. That is, a laser pulse train is composed of a discontinuous segment of laser pulses, and there is an interval between two adjacent segments of laser pulses, so that when a laser signal is transmitted, after a delay time elapses after a laser pulse is transmitted, the next segment of laser pulse is transmitted. It should be noted that the delay time after each segment or each laser pulse may be the same or different, and is not limited herein as the case may be. The interval is arranged between the adjacent laser pulses, so that the decoding processing of echo signals corresponding to different pulse widths is facilitated, and the accurate data to be processed can be generated.
For example, when the laser pulse train includes pulses a and B having different pulse widths, pulse B is transmitted after a delay T1 after pulse a is transmitted, and pulse a is transmitted after a delay T2 after pulse B is transmitted. In this case, a pulse a, a delay T1, a pulse B, and a delay T2 form a cycle, and the entire laser pulse train usually includes a plurality of cycles, forming a pulse train with different pulse widths and a fixed sequence relationship.
In the embodiment of the present invention, two specific processes for decoding the echo pulse train signal are specifically provided, and both the two specific processes can obtain data to be processed corresponding to the pulse width. First, when there is an interval between laser pulse trains due to the delay time, i.e., the structure of the laser pulse train is similar to that shown in fig. 3, the processor is configured to: determining the interval time between laser pulses with the same pulse width according to the width of the laser pulses, the delay time and a fixed sequence; and extracting laser pulses corresponding to the same pulse width from the echo pulse train signal based on the interval time and processing the laser pulses to obtain data to be processed corresponding to the pulse width.
Specifically, according to the delay time and the time for sending each laser pulse, the laser pulses corresponding to the same pulse width are extracted in combination with a fixed sequence, and then the data to be processed corresponding to the same pulse width is obtained. Taking fig. 3 as an example, the decoding process for pulse a is: after the data acquisition unit receives the start command, the echo signal of the pulse A is firstly acquired and processed, then the delay time T1 is added every time, the delay time T2 is added, the echo signal is acquired and processed after the delay time corresponding to the width of the pulse B is added, and then the decoding processing process of the pulse A can be completed.
Accordingly, the decoding process of the pulse B is as follows: after the data acquisition unit receives the start instruction, delaying the delay time corresponding to the width of the pulse A, adding the delay time T1, and acquiring and processing the echo signal of the pulse B; and then, at intervals of time delay T1, adding time delay T2, and acquiring and processing the echo signal after adding the time delay corresponding to the width of the pulse A, so that the decoding processing process of the pulse B can be completed.
Second, whether or not there is a space between adjacent laser pulses in the laser pulse train, the processor is configured to: determining the pulse width corresponding to each laser pulse in the laser pulse train by combining the fixed sequence according to the rising edge of the echo pulse train signal; and extracting laser pulses corresponding to the same pulse width from the echo pulse train signal and processing the laser pulses to obtain data to be processed corresponding to the pulse width.
In this scheme, the processor may determine a position corresponding to each laser pulse in the echo pulse train signal according to a rising edge of the echo pulse train signal, specifically, each pulse in the echo pulse train signal needs to be identified, and a start time of the echo pulse train signal is determined according to the rising edge of the pulse, so as to determine the laser pulses corresponding to the same pulse width, and then the laser pulses corresponding to the same pulse width may be extracted from the echo pulse train signal and processed, so as to obtain data to be processed corresponding to the same pulse width. Obviously, this second scheme is relatively complex to implement, and the first time-based codec does not require the above-mentioned processing.
According to the coherent wind lidar provided by the embodiment of the invention, the laser is modulated by the pulse width modulator to emit the laser pulse trains with different widths and arranged according to a fixed sequence, and the distance resolution of the coherent wind lidar is related to the width of the emitted laser pulse, so that the emitted laser can simultaneously correspond to various distance resolutions by emitting the laser pulse trains. When receiving the echo signals, decoding the echo signals according to the fixed sequence corresponding to the laser pulse train so as to obtain data to be processed corresponding to different distance resolutions; and performing inversion operation on the data to be processed, thereby obtaining the atmospheric parameters corresponding to different range resolutions, simultaneously outputting data corresponding to various range resolutions during working, and ensuring that the coherent wind lidar has higher time resolution.
The following describes a measurement method of the coherent wind lidar according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the measurement method described below is a specific application of the coherent wind lidar described above, and therefore the measurement method described below and the coherent wind lidar described above may be referred to in a corresponding manner.
It should be noted that the measurement method of the coherent wind lidar described below is specifically applied to the processor in the coherent wind lidar described above, which is mainly each step of data processing by the processor.
