To address these challenges, this study proposes an enhanced lock-in method that utilizes pulse counting techniques to roughly estimate the frequency of the measurement signal and generates orthogonal signals for mixing with the measurement signal. Implementation and experiments on the FPGA platform demonstrate that the improved orthogonal lock-in method can achieve a resolution error of tens of picometers, with a maximum measurement speed exceeding 1 m/s. This research outcome effectively enhances the robustness of the lock-in method, aligning more closely with engineering requirements for high-precision phase measurement. |
