New laser system boosts accuracy for faster and more precise distance measurements!
The researchers developed a phase laser ranging system to improve distance measurement accuracy. They compared single-frequency and dual-frequency models, reducing circuit complexity with phase difference detection. By using Full phase fast Fourier transform phase measurement, they calculated the total phase difference between the laser and target. The study showed that dual-frequency laser ranging is more accurate than single-frequency. They also found that signal-to-noise ratio affects phase measurement accuracy differently depending on the ranging method.
