Abstract
A method of foreign object debris discrimination includes illuminating a particle located within a sensing volume with a modulated electromagnetic radiation pulse emitted from a source; receiving one or more electromagnetic radiation return signals that have been scattered by the particle illuminated by the modulated electromagnetic radiation pulse at a detector; mixing, using a controller, the electromagnetic radiation return signal of amplitude Iand frequency fwith a reference signal of amplitude Iand frequency f; analyzing, using the controller, an amplitude of the mixed signal √{square root over (II)}, and frequency of the mixed signal, f−f; and classifying, using the controller, a particle position, a velocity, and electromagnetic characteristic of the particle based on the amplitude, √{square root over (II)}, and frequency, f−f, of the mixed signal.
