AI Technical Summary
Existing ranging methods are insufficient in terms of accuracy and environmental adaptability. In particular, laser ranging is easily affected by weather, infrared ranging has limited accuracy, and ultrasonic ranging has insufficient range and accuracy. There is a lack of high-precision, environmentally unaffected fixed-point absolute distance measurement methods.
A high-precision absolute distance measurement system based on microwave is adopted. It utilizes a two-way transmission architecture combined with frequency conversion technology. Through time synchronization and frequency change of the ranging master and slave boards, high-precision absolute distance measurement is achieved. An ultra-stable crystal oscillator board is used to eliminate the influence of frequency drift noise. The hardware structure of the ranging master and slave boards is basically the same to avoid co-frequency interference.
It achieves sub-millimeter accuracy in distance measurements up to 100 meters, increases the upper limit of the ranging range, reduces manufacturing costs and complexity, and improves system compatibility and measurement accuracy.
