回波信号数据采集设备是激光雷达系统的关键部分。为了提高信噪比,回波信号数据采集设备应当具有滤波和高速数据累加功能,为了满足 不同重复频率激光雷达的探测需求,累加过程的采集深度和累加次数等参数应当是可配置的。使用FPGA作为主控设备,实现了一个采样率为20 MHz, 具有滤波和硬件累加功能,且参数可配置的通用回波信号数据采集卡(DAQ card)。测试结果表明,在不同重复频率的触发信号下,采集卡实现了基 本的参数配置功能和累加功能,信噪比为71.9 dB。与国外某回波信号数据采集设备相比,采集卡在高重复频率激光雷达中具有更远的探测距离和更高的信噪比。

Data acquisition equipment of lidar echo signal is the critical part of lidar system. In order to improve signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), data acquisition equipment should have the function of filtering and high-speed data accumulation. In order to meet the requirement of lidars with different repetition frequency, the parameters such as sampling depth and accumulating time should be reconfigurable. A universal data acquisition card of lidar echo signal (DAQ card) with a sampling rate of 20 MHz and reconfigurable parameters, which has the function of filtering and hardware accumulation, is realized by using FPGA as main control element. The test results show that the DAQ card achieves the basic parameter configuration function and accumulation function under the different repetition rate of the trigger signal, and the SNR is 71.9 dB. Compared with a foreign echo signal acquisition equipment, the DAQ card has longer detection range and higher SNR in high repetition frequency lidar.
