description The accuracy of target distance obtained by a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser ranging system is often affected by factors such as white Gaussian noise (WGN), spectrum leakage, and the picket fence effect. There are some traditional spectrum correction algorithms to solve the problem above, but the results are unsatisfactory. In this article, a decomposition filtering-based dual-window correction (DFBDWC) algorithm is proposed to alleviate the problem caused by these factors. This algorithm reduces the influence of these factors by utilizing a decomposition filtering, dual-window in time domain and two phase values of spectral peak in the frequency domain, respectively. With the comparison of DFBDWC and these traditional algorithms in simulation and experiment on a built platform, the results show a superior performance of DFBDWC based on this platform. The maximum absolute error of target distance calculated by this algorithm is reduced from 0.7937 m of discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithm to 0.0407 m, which is the best among all mentioned spectrum correction algorithms. A high performance FMCW laser ranging system can be realized with the proposed algorithm, which has attractive potential in a wide scope of applications.
