Abstract

This application relates to a multi-pulse anti-interference signal processing apparatus. The multi-pulse anti-interference signal processing apparatus includes a detection pulse sending unit and a pulse receiving unit. The detection pulse sending unit is configured to emit a plurality of laser pulses to a target object based on a preset emission interval within a cycle. The pulse receiving unit is configured to receive a plurality of external signals within the cycle, obtain a reception interval between any two external signals, and determine, in the plurality of external signals based on the emission interval and the reception interval, an echo signal corresponding to the emitted laser pulses. A false echo pulse resulting from optical-to-electrical conversion and an interfering echo pulse fed back by other radar are effectively eliminated. Therefore, a signal-to-noise ratio of a target echo pulse is increased, mutual interference between a plurality of radars is effectively eliminated, and accuracy of ranging performed by a radar by using a laser pulse is improved.
