Self-compensated coherent integration method for coherent lidar system

In this paper, a new signal processing method named SCCI (Self- Compensated Coherent Integration) which enables a coherent integration over a longer time, compared to a coherence time of a back-scattered signal, is proposed. A back-scattered signal is gated by a constant time gate of which a gate time is set to be shorter than a coherence time. Each gated signal is sampled as a former and a latter part. A gated signal in each part is integrated coherently by FFT. A cross spectrum of two parts is calculated in each time gate. Since a phase of a cross spectrum in each time gate is constant, this process is identified to a self-phase-compensation. A cross spectrum is integrated over all time gates. This process is identified to a coherent integration of a back-scattered signal over a signal length which is longer than a coherence time, since a phase of a cross spectrum in each time gate is constant. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) for SCCI is theoretically higher than that for PDI (Post Detection Integration) in the case of N>16/SNRp2 (N: Gate number, SNRp: SNR of a time gate for PDI) at low SNR. SCCI is superior to PDI in every case at low SNR if a required SNR in a system is up to 6dB and a Doppler frequency of a back-scattered signal is constant in a signal length. Furthermore, if SNRp becomes lower and lower, and a required SNR is higher and higher compared to 6dB, the effect of using SCCI appears more and more distinctly. We confirm the effect experimentally using a 1.5-µm wind sensing lidar system.
