II. Working Principle
This scanning pulsed coherent Doppler wind lidar is developed based on the laser Doppler effect and coherent heterodyne detection technology, realizing non-contact, high-precision, long-distance wind field measurement.
-
Laser Emission & Space Scanning The system emits narrow-linewidth, high-stability pulsed laser signals through the integrated laser transceiver. The laser beam is collimated and transmitted to the target detection area via the high-precision pan-tilt pointer, which supports flexible scanning coverage of the detection space through 360° horizontal rotation and -10°~190° vertical pitch, with a maximum rotation speed of ≥50°/s for rapid wind field mapping.
-
Echo Signal Reception & Coherent Detection When the laser beam interacts with aerosols, cloud droplets and other suspended particles in the atmosphere, the backscattered echo signal carries the Doppler frequency shift generated by the movement of the atmospheric wind field. The system adopts a coherent heterodyne detection scheme, which mixes the weak echo signal with the local oscillator laser signal in the photodetector, converts the optical signal into a measurable electrical signal through photoelectric conversion, effectively suppresses background noise, and greatly improves detection sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.
-
Wind Speed Calculation & Wind Field Retrieval The system calculates the radial wind speed of each detection distance gate in real time by demodulating the Doppler frequency shift of the echo signal, with a measurement accuracy up to 0.1m/s and a measurement range of -50~+50m/s. Combined with the high-precision angle information of the pan-tilt pointer (angular resolution ≤0.01°, pointing accuracy ≤0.1°), the system completes scanning detection of the target space, and inverts wind profile, wind direction, horizontal wind speed, vertical airflow and other meteorological parameters through a mature wind field inversion algorithm, finally reconstructing the complete 3D wind field data of the detection area.
-
System Control & Data Output The whole system is controlled by an embedded high-performance processor, which realizes synchronous control of laser emission, pan-tilt scanning, signal acquisition and data processing. It supports a variety of standard scanning modes (LOS fixed mode, DBS, VAD, PPI, RHI) and user-defined scanning modes, and can output rich wind field data products in real time to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
