Description

Rapid high-precision sweep frequency interferometry nonlinear correction system and method based on non-uniform zero-insertion filtering
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser ranging.
Background
The Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave (FMCW) laser ranging technique is widely used in modern industry because of its high accuracy, large range, no need for cooperative target measurement, etc. However, in the FMCW laser ranging system, sweep nonlinearity is one of the main factors affecting measurement accuracy. In recent years, nonlinear correction methods have been widely studied.
The existing nonlinear correction methods comprise negative feedback phase-locked control active linearization, an equal optical frequency interval resampling method, an optical frequency comb correction method and a phase ratio method. The negative feedback phase-locked control active linearization method has high measurement accuracy, but has high requirements on hardware and is easily influenced by environmental factors. The equal optical frequency interval resampling method has simple structure and lower requirement on signal to noise ratio, but has slightly lower precision. The optical frequency comb correction method has high and stable precision, but has certain challenges in practical application. The phase ratio method has high accuracy, but has high requirements on signal to noise ratio. The method based on the optical frequency comb correction can improve the measurement accuracy, but is required to be coherent with the optical frequency comb, so that the application range of the method is limited. In addition, in the design of the existing FPGA-based sweep frequency interferometry signal processing system, most of the FPGA design is focused on the aspect of active linearization of the negative feedback phase-locked laser, and the FPGA design for other nonlinear correction methods is less, so that the FPGA-based sweep frequency interferometry nonlinear correction method is necessary to be further explored so as to solve the problems of the existing nonlinear correction method.
