Zusammenfassung:A period of a correlation signal from a laser Doppler velocimeter is calculated from crossing points at which a correlation function crosses over a threshold level by clipping and digitizing a Doppler burst signal, thereby enabling an accurate and real time measurement to be made of a flow velocity, even in low SNR Doppler signals. Smoothing the waveform of a correlation signal further improves measurement accuracy. When the threshold level is set to be the 1/2 value of the autocorrelation function at tau =0, a crossing point is precisely detected even in an uneven correlation function or small amplitude of the crosscorrelation function, thus further increasing measurement accuracy.
