Abstract

The design and performance of Optical frequency modulation continuous wave (OFMCW) coherent laser radar is presented. By employing a combination of optical heterodyne and linear frequency modulation techniques and utilizing fiber optic technologies, highly efficient, compact and reliable laser radar suitable for operation in a space environment is being developed.We also give a hardware structure of the OFMCW coherent laser radar. We made a detailed analysis of the measurement error. Its accuracy in the speed range is less than 0.5%.Measurement results for the movement of the carrier has also made a detailed assessment. The results show that its acceleration vector has better adaptability. The circuit structure is also given a detailed design. At the end of the article, we give the actual authentication method and experimental results.
