Abstract

The influence of scanning by a probing beam on the echo signal level of a pulsed coherent Doppler lidar on an horizontal and oblique paths in the atmosphere has been studied numerically. It has been shown, when scanning by the probing beam is taken into account, the heterodyne efficiency decreases as the lidar sounding rang increases. The higher the angular scanning rate, the greater the mismatch of the wavefronts of a reference and probing beams, the lower the echo signal level.
