Description

Parallel linear frequency modulation continuous wave laser radar ranging and speed measuring system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser radars, and relates to a parallel linear frequency modulation continuous wave laser radar ranging and speed measuring system.
Background
Laser radar (Lidar) is an active remote sensing technology that uses laser to image, detect and range, because the wavelength of laser is several orders of magnitude shorter than that of microwave, laser radar has higher angular resolution, distance resolution and speed resolution than microwave radar, greater range finding distance, stronger anti-interference capability and smaller volume and mass, significantly expanding the range of use of radar. The laser radar irradiates a target area through laser actively emitted by the emission system, then the detection system detects and processes laser echo signals reflected by the target to obtain characteristic information such as distance, speed and azimuth of the target, so that the target is detected, tracked and identified, and the laser radar is widely applied to automatic driving.
The traditional laser radar is generally unique in measurement target, cannot realize simultaneous ranging and speed measurement, and has a measurement blind area. However, the laser radar application scenario often involves simultaneous measurement of multiple measurement targets, where it is difficult for a conventional laser radar to meet the measurement requirements.
The frequency modulation continuous wave laser radar adopts a modulation signal with the frequency changing along with time to carry out coherent measurement, and detects through measuring the frequency difference between an echo signal and a local oscillation signal, so that the demodulation of the signal can be realized by using a smaller receiving end bandwidth, and higher measurement resolution can be realized relatively easily. In addition, compared with the traditional time-of-flight (TOF) method using pulse laser signals, the frequency modulation continuous wave does not need a high-precision timer and a receiver, does not have a distance blind area, can provide a larger distance measurement range and higher resolution and sensitivity, is not influenced by ambient light and other laser transmitters in theory, has higher signal-to-noise ratio and is safe for human eyes.
In the process of realizing the invention, the inventor finds that the prior continuous wave laser radar technology based on frequency modulation has the following problems: when the laser radar is applied to laser point cloud sampling, although the more the sampling is, the more accurate the measurement result is, the sampling rate cannot meet the existing needs due to the frequency and scanning speed of the carrier signal.
