Abstract
We propose a time-of-flight ranging method by measuring the pulse laser phase based on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) digital mixing, in which accurate laser ranging with a total digital system is realized by combining one FPGA chip with a simple laser transmitting and receiving circuit. The system has the advantage of simple structure, reliable operation, low manufacturing cost and easy integration. Experimental results show that compared with the pulse laser ranging method using commercial time-to-digital converter chips, it can realize precise measurement of distance, and the measurement error can be significantly reduced. In addition, this method has better performance of ranging accuracy.
期刊介绍:
Measurement Science and Technology publishes articles on new measurement techniques and associated instrumentation. Papers that describe experiments must represent an advance in measurement science or measurement technique rather than the application of established experimental technique. Bearing in mind the multidisciplinary nature of the journal, authors must provide an introduction to their work that makes clear the novelty, significance, broader relevance of their work in a measurement context and relevance to the readership of Measurement Science and Technology. All submitted articles should contain consideration of the uncertainty, precision and/or accuracy of the measurements presented.
Subject coverage includes the theory, practice and application of measurement in physics, chemistry, engineering and the environmental and life sciences from inception to commercial exploitation. Publications in the journal should emphasize the novelty of reported methods, characterize them and demonstrate their performance using examples or applications.
