Since the modulation signals SL1, SMb, and SL2 have similar frequencies, it is not necessary to design different consumables like the conventional direct frequency source to match the scales, thereby greatly simplifying the system architecture. In addition, the two sets of modulation signals SL1 and the lake are similar to the frequency of § Μ 2, and the bandwidth of the chopper unit can be designed to be narrower, so as to reduce signal attenuation and signal noise, so that the system The signal noise ratio and the accuracy of the system are thus improved. The invention also discloses a distance measuring method, and the action thereof can be explained as follows with reference to the i-th figure. . First, at the first cycle, the frequency synthesizing unit 2 generates modulation signals SM1 and SL1. Then, the driving unit 3 发出 emits the light beam S1 toward the object 200 according to the modulation signal, and the optical mixing unit 50 passes the object 2 according to the modulation and the light beam. . The light beam S1" reflected by 00 generates a first light mixing signal illusion. The tear wave is early as the BPF1 system removes the noise in the reference signal SR, and outputs a signal, and the processing unit 1G is based on a signal SR. And, the first-phase difference value is compared with the first-light mixing signal S3. For example, the frequency of the modulation signal and the SU are 99.995 MHz and 100 MHz, respectively. If the modulation signal SM2 ^ SL2 is generated, then the 'drive unit 30 drives the light according to the modulation signal SM2.

A second optical mixing signal S4 is generated. Then, the processing unit 10 calculates a second phase difference value based on the signal SR" and the second optical mixing signal S4. For example, the frequency of the modulation signals SM2 and SL2 are 94.995 MHz and 95 MHz, respectively. The frequency difference between the modulation signals SM1 and SL] is equal to the frequency difference between the modulation signals SM2 and SL2 (100M-99.995M=95M-94.995M=5KHz), and the frequency difference between the modulation signals SM1 and SM2 is also equal to the modulation signal SL1. The frequency difference from SM2 (100M-95M=99.995M-94.995M=5MHz). In addition, the frequencies of the modulation signals SMI, SL1, SM2, and SL2 are usually set at 100 MHz to 400 MHz' and the frequency of the reference signal SR is set according to the requirements of the measurement distance' and is related to the resolution (phase discrimination capability) of the system, usually It is one-tenth of the frequency of the modulation signals SMI, SL1, SM2 and SL2. In addition, the frequency synthesizing unit 20 mixes the modulation t number SM1 and SL1 as the reference signal sr in the first period, and mixes the modulation signals SM2 and SL2 in the second period. The frequency of the reference signal SR' where the reference #SR is the frequency difference between the modulation signals smi and SL1 and the frequency difference between the modulation signals SM2 and SL2 (i.e., 5 kHz) is not limited thereto. For example, the reference signal SR can also be obtained by mixing the modulation signal SM1 and the su number in the first period by an electric mixing unit, and the modulation signals SM2 and SL2 will be used in the second period. Calculated by mixing. 0757-A22085TWF(N2); E01〇6350; DENNIS 15 1337261, the processing unit 10 obtains the target according to the difference between the first period and the second phase difference obtained in the first period and the second period. The distance between 200 and the distance measuring system 100A/100B/100C. In some embodiments, processing unit 10 may also directly determine the distance between target 200 and distance measurement system 100A/100B/100C based directly on the first phase difference value or the second phase difference value. In other words, the noise in the optical mixing signals S3 and S4 can be filtered out through the filtering unit BPF2, and the signals S3" and S4" are outputted, and then converted into digital signals by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), so that The processing unit 10 performs phase difference calculation. In other words, the processing unit 10 calculates the first and second phase difference values according to the signal SR" and the signals S3" and S4".
