Abstract

A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system to transmit optical beams including at least up-chirp frequency and at least one down-chirp frequency toward targets in a field of view of the LIDAR system and receive returned signals of the up-chirp and the down-chirp as reflected from the targets. The LIDAR system may perform IQ processing on one or more returned signals to generate baseband signals in the frequency domain of the returned signals during the at least one up-chirp and the at least one down-chirp. The baseband signal includes a first set of peaks associated with the at least one up-chirp frequency and a second set of peaks associated with the at least one down-chirp frequency. The LIDAR system determines the target location using the first set of peaks and the second set of peaks.
