Abstract

In a smoke environment, suspended particles can scatter and absorb laser photons, making target echo signals extremely weak and difficult to extract and identify, which causes obvious difficulty in fixed-distance of laser fuze. In this paper, the multiple scattering model of frequency-modulated-continuous-wave (FMCW) laser fuze in a smoke environment was established. This model simulates multi-path propagation and multiple scattering of photons. At the same time, we use the correntropy spectral density (CSD) algorithm for accurate fixed-distance of FMCW laser fuze. The absolute error of distance does not exceed 0.15 m in smoke interference environment.

Highlights

  • Fixed-distance fuze is a device that measures the distance to the target by radio, laser, ultra-wideband, millimeter wave, and detonates the warhead at the best explosive point

  • The frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser ranging system depends on the beat frequency instead of the magnitude and time of the echo signal so that it has a natural advantage in target detection under dense fog conditions [3,4]

  • Zhang et al studied the characteristics of smoke backscatter interference signals of FMCW laser fuze, and proposed a method for detecting intermediate frequency signals based on a normalized threshold [7,8]

Summary

Introduction

Fixed-distance fuze is a device that measures the distance to the target by radio, laser, ultra-wideband, millimeter wave, and detonates the warhead at the best explosive point. Zhang et al studied the characteristics of smoke backscatter interference signals of FMCW laser fuze, and proposed a method for detecting intermediate frequency signals based on a normalized threshold [7,8]. Some traditional denoising methods, including empirical mode decomposition (EMD) direct wavelet thresholding, EMD interval thresholding, correlation-based EMD partial reconstruction, discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and wavelet transformation, are investigated to provide a comparison with the cross-power-spectral-density (CPSD) algorithm [10]. Both the simulation and experiment results showed that the CPSD algorithm has better performance than other algorithms for the anti-interference of FMCW laser detection.
