However, traditional FMCW radar techniques are inherently prone to spectral leakage artifacts and picket fence effects caused by non-integer period sampling and limited frequency resolution of discrete Fourier transform (DFT) processing, which seriously compromise ranging accuracy. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a novel high-precision range estimation algorithm based on generalized eigenvalue decomposition (GEVD). The key contributions of this study are: (1) the derivation of the analytical relationship between generalized eigenvalues and beat frequencies through formulating a generalized eigenvalue equation that includes both the beat frequency signal and its first-order derivative; and (2) the effective reduction of discretization errors and noise interference using frequency-shifting techniques combined with singular value decomposition (SVD)-based signal enhancement. A thorough parametric analysis has been performed to evaluate the impact of sampling frequency, matrix dimension, signal-to-noise ratio, and the number of targets on range precision. Extensive numerical simulations and controlled laboratory experiments validate the theoretical framework and operational effectiveness of the proposed methodology. Comparative results demonstrate that the GEVD-based method achieves superior resolution compared to conventional techniques, even in noisy environments. Field validation using single-target measurement trials confirms exceptional measurement stability, with empirical data showing maximum range deviation within 0.2 mm at sampling frequencies exceeding 400 kHz.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 117957"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144185464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These effects pose critical challenges to reliable OAM-based FSO communication, especially under strong turbulence conditions. To address this issue, we propose the ERViT, a novel deep learning-based system that integrates three models: ENAT (Efficient-Net AT), ResRecNet, and Reinforced ViT (Vision Transformer), to perform AT detection, beam correction, and OAM mode classification, respectively. The ENAT model detects the presence of AT with an accuracy of 99.86 %. If the AT is detected, the ResRecNet autoencoder reconstructs the distorted beam using residual CNN blocks. Finally, the Reinforced ViT model classifies the corrected beam with high accuracy.

This study introduces a novel ACUSUM CC by integrating Huber and Bi-square score functions, which possess unique attributes such as monotonicity and redescending properties. Despite their individual advantages, limited research has explored their combined use in ACUSUM CC design.
