Application of the Vernier method for absolute distance metrology with CW TOF phase shift technique
Keyword(s):
A phase shift time of flight technique determines a position by comparing the phase angle of a continuously modulated signal in the source and its reflection on a target. However, due to its cyclical properties, the position information is contained within an ambiguity interval. For an absolute measurement, this interval is repeated N times plus a residual part given by the phase shift. In this work we propose an application of the Vernier method to determine N and a setup for mid-range applications (10-20) m with a 3 GHz amplitude modulated source to allow accuracies ≤ 100 μm.
