视频累积提高激光探测信噪比的方法研究

为了研究多脉冲视频累积提高激光回波探测信噪比的途径的有效性,以噪声的统计特性为基础,理论分析了多脉冲视频累积提高激光回波探测信噪比的基本原理,并通过数值仿真和实验验证了视频累积提高激光探测信噪比的可行性。结果表明,当脉冲累积数N较小时,通过多脉冲视频累积可以提高激光回波探测的信噪比N1/2倍,与视频累积结论一致;但当N大于一定值之后,由于系统带宽、A/D转换精度和采样率等因素的影响,使信噪比随累积脉冲数的变化明显偏离了N1/2指数规律。该研究为进一步通过多脉冲视频积累探测改善激光回波探测的信噪比,实现强噪声背景下的弱信号检测提供了理论和实验基础,对提高半导体激光测距系统的探测能力有着直接的指导意义。

Video frequency cumulation for the improvement of signal-noise ratio in Laser probing

Based on the statistical property of noise, the fundamental of multi-pulse video frequency cumulation for the improvement of Signal-Noise Ratio (SNR) in laser echo probing are discussed. Results show that the multi-pulse video frequency cumulation can improve the SNR with times in laser echo probing, while the number of laser pulse N is small, after the number N is larger than certain value, the relation between SNR and N deviate the exponential law due to the influence of system bandwidth, A/D precision and sampling rate.
