A Calibration Method of a Range Finder With a Six-Port Network

Abstract: A calibration method is proposed for a range finder with a six-port phase frequency discriminator. Calibration equations are derived that include phase errors resulting from both the imperfections in a six-port network and the different diode characteristics. The equations allow a simple and accurate calibration of the range finder with the six-port network. Calibration parameters are calculated from dc outputs, which are measured as the output frequency is varied. The maximum error of a distance measurement f… Show more

“…The phase shifter is used to generate a circle trajectory by varying the phases of the signal on the complex plane, and several other methods can be employed to implement this function. When the target is mechanically moved within a displacement similar to the half wavelength of the operating frequency, baseband signals can draw the circle trajectory on the complex plane as in the case of using the phase shifter [ 22 ]. However, an elliptical trajectory is generated owing to the change in the distance to the target, in contrast to the circle trajectory using phase shifters.…”

“…The radar sensor is based on detecting phase differences between reference and received signals using the six‐port network . The phase difference Δφ in the radar sensor using the six‐port network can be obtained using DC output voltages as in , Δφ=cot1true(V4/K43V3V5/K53V6/K631costrue(ϕ3true)+tantrue(ϕ3true)true) where V i is DC voltage, K i 3 is the parameter including the amplitude errors in a six‐port network and diode mismatches for each port, and φ 3 is the phase error related to the delayed line. Received signal r is a delayed signal of transmitted signal s .…”

“…Other fiber delay line structures were also used to extend the measurement range, but its largest measurement range is only about 10 m [7,8]. For a certain applications, such as a calibration total station [9,10], it is usually requested to calibrate the 1 km range with measurement resolution better than 0.15 mm [11]. This performance can also find many other applications in in-service fiber line identification in a complex fiber network, fiber chromatic dispersion measurement, and long distributed fiber-optic sensors [12].…”
