Problems solved by technology

[0006] It can be seen from formula (2) that the resolution of traditional frequency difference ranging is mainly affected by the system bandwidth, and for many radar systems, when the transmitted signal is a high-frequency radio frequency signal, the bandwidth is difficult to reach a high index, such that the bandwidth limits the range resolution

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a time-to-digital converter for time-difference distance measurement of frequency modulation continuous wave radar. The time-to-digital converter is applied to time difference distance measurement in frequency modulation continuous wave radar, and belongs to the technical field of radar distance measurement and laser distance measurement. Background technique [0002] The traditional FM continuous wave radar transmits a series of FM continuous waves through the antenna of the transmitting end, and receives the echo signal from the target through the antenna of the receiving end, also known as the received signal, and coherently mixes the transmitted signal and the received signal to obtain The intermediate frequency signal contains the distance information of the target, and the distance information of the target is converted into a frequency difference, and then the frequency difference is used for ranging. The traditional FM ...
