Noise suppression of FMCW lidar

Abstract

Aiming at the problem that the ranging accuracy of the frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidar decreases in the strong noise environment, experiments are carried out to verify the feasibility of the Faraday anomalous dispersion filter (FADOF) in the FMCW lidar system. The transmitter of the system uses the potassium atom vapor cell to stabilize the frequency and uses the field programmable gate array (FPGA) as the servo system. K-FADOF is used to suppress the additive noise at the receiving end of the lidar system. The results of this experiment show that the use of FADOF can successfully eliminate the interference of noise at the receiver. This experiment verifies the effectiveness of FADOF in suppressing noise in the field of FMCW lidar.
