Modeling of detection techniques for FMCW lidar using OptiSystem

Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) lidar rang measurement principle, then designed a simulated distance measurement scheme and building the model. Using the OptiSystem system modeling simulation, the relationship between frequency modulation (FM) bandwidth, FM time and rang measurement accuracy is investigated, and the effect of different sweep parameters on the accuracy of the final rang measurement results is discussed in the time and frequency domains. The simulation tests the delay of the target at 30, 60 and 90 meters respectively, and the distance is derived by beating the frequency of the optical echo signal with the local oscillation optical signal and calculating the beat frequency.
