    Abstract: A frequency modulated continuous wave LiDAR system is disclosed that may be scalable and integrated in compact and demanding environments. The improved system of the present disclosure includes: an electro-optic modulator configured to modulate a laser generated by a laser source; a balanced photo detector configured to process an interference signal of a local copy of the laser coupled with a signal of the laser returned from a target and output a beatnote signal; a modulation source with two outputs, wherein the modulation source is configured to sweep in phase across a required bandwidth for the electro-optic modulator and the balanced photo detector; and a Frequency Information Rapid Extraction for Ranging Applications (“FIRE-RA”) system configured to: receive the interference signal from the balanced photo detector, process the interference signal with a signal from one of the two outputs of the modulation source for the balanced photo detector, and output distance and speed data for the target according to the processed interference signal.
