Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Korrektur von Laufzeitfehlern, die aufgrund der Signaldynamik von Empfangssignalen bei optischen Radarsystemen auftreten. Ursache liegt im wesentlichen in der nichtlinearen Empfangscharakteristik der optischen Empfängers. Innerhalb des optischen Empfängers weist im allgemeinen die Photodiode die stärksten nichtlinearen Eigenschaften auf. Erfahrungsgemäß trifft dies nicht nur für die häufig eingesetzte Avalanche-Photodiode zu, sondern betrifft alle weiteren für Radarsysteme eingesetzten Detektoren (u.a. auch Mikrowellendetektoren für z.B. Dauerstrich- sowie Pulsbetrieb). Die MSM-Photodiode gilt eine ein weitgehend lineares Element. Jedoch wenn Abstände, Profile oder Gegenstände dreidimensional hochgenau mit einer Genauigkeit im Millimeter- und Submillimeterbereich gemessen werden sollen, führt auch das nichtlineare Verhalten einer MSM-Photodiode zu nicht tolerierbaren Messfehlern. Dynamikfehler treten zum einen entfernungsabhängig auf, zum anderen entstehen sie bei konstanter Entfernung bei Schwarz-Weiß-Kontrasten.The The present invention describes a method for correcting Runtime errors due to the signal dynamics of received signals occur in optical radar systems. Cause is essentially in the non-linear reception characteristic of the optical receiver. Within of the optical receiver In general, the photodiode has the strongest nonlinear properties on. Experience meets this not only for the frequently used Avalanche photodiode, but affects all others for radar systems detectors used (including microwave detectors for e.g. as well as pulsed operation). The MSM photodiode is considered a one largely linear element. However, if distances, profiles or objects are three-dimensional high precision with an accuracy in the millimeter and submillimeter range be measured leads also the non-linear behavior of an MSM photodiode to intolerable Measurement errors. Dynamic errors occur on the one hand, depending on the distance, on the other hand they arise at constant distance with black and white contrasts.
Dynamikfehler werden in (Mehnert, MITEC) dadurch vermieden, dass über ein mechanisches optisches Drehdämpfungsglied dafür gesorgt wird, dass stets konstante optische Leistung auf die Photodiode auftrifft, und diese somit stets im selben Arbeitspunkt arbeitet. Dieses Verfahren ist für langsame Intensitätsänderungen geeignet, jedoch für dynamische Messvorgänge zu schwerfällig. Es können auch elektronische Regelschleifen zur Aufrechterhaltung eines Empfangssignals genutzt werden (z.B. Riegl). Jedoch haben solche geschlossenen Regelkreise (closed-loop) stets den Nachteil, dass eine präzise Messung erst nach einer Einschwingzeit erfolgen kann. Dieser Nachteil ist auch bei Dauerstrich-Systemen mit extremen Amplitudenschwankungen gegeben.dynamic error are avoided in (Mehnert, MITEC) by having a mechanical optical rotary attenuator ensured is that always constant optical power impinges on the photodiode, and thus always works in the same operating point. This method is for slow intensity changes suitable, however for dynamic measuring processes too cumbersome. It can also electronic control loops for maintaining a received signal be used (e.g., Riegl). However, such closed-loop control circuits have always the disadvantage that a precise measurement can only be done after a settling time. This disadvantage is also with continuous wave systems with extreme amplitude fluctuations given.
Nulldurchgangsverfahren beruhen auf der Differentiation des Eingangssignals. Die Messgenauigkeit ist in diesem Fall durch das Rauschen des Empfängers und der Auswerteelektronik begrenzt. Insbesondere bei schwächeren Signalen nimmt die Steilheit des Nulldurchgangs ab, so dass die Auswertefehler zunehmen.Zero-crossing procedures are based on the differentiation of the input signal. The measuring accuracy in this case is due to the noise of the receiver and the transmitter limited. Especially with weaker ones Signals decreases the steepness of the zero crossing, so that the Evaluation error increase.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Verfahren zur Fehlerkorrektur von Laufzeitfehlern in Radarsystemen mit einer nichtlinearen Empfangseinheit zu schaffen, das nicht auf einer bekannten hardwaremäßigen Lösung beruht, sondern ausschließlich auf der vollständigen Kenntnis der dynamischen nichtlinearen Eigenschaften des verwendeten optischen Empfängers. Eine hardwaremäßige Kompensation der nichtlinearen Bauelementeigenschaften wird damit überflüssig, wodurch der Hardwareaufwand und damit die Kosten einer Systementwicklung minimiert werden. Das vorgeschlagene Verfahren lässt auch noch bei schwachen Signalen eine Laufzeitfehlerkorrektur ohne Einbuße an Messgenauigkeit zu.The The object of the invention is a method for error correction Runtime errors in radar systems with a nonlinear receiving unit which is not based on a known hardware solution, but exclusively on the complete Knowledge of the dynamic non-linear properties of the used optical receiver. A hardware compensation the non-linear component properties is thus superfluous, which The hardware expenditure and thus the costs of a system development minimized become. The proposed method is still weak Signals a runtime error correction without loss of accuracy.
