description A high-performance data acquisition and processing system within a spectrometer provides a powerful guarantee for obtaining high-precision data in ground-based Fourier-transform infrared greenhouse-gas spectroscopy. Addressing the challenge of accurate interferogram sampling in Fourier-transform spectroscopy, a dual-channel interferogram acquisition method was designed. Dual-channel analog-to-digital converters, acquiring interferograms at different gains, enable high dynamic range and high-resolution acquisition of infrared interferometric signals; the analog-to-digital converter channel of low-gain interferograms mainly captures data near the zero-optical-range-difference spike, and the analog-to-digital converter channel of high-gain interferograms mainly acquires the weak signals from the two flanks. The simulation results, circuit design, and correction method between the two channels of the method are given. Finally, in the ground-based Fourier-transform infrared greenhouse-gas spectrometer for experimental applications, the experiment shows that under the same measurement conditions, the carbon dioxide column concentration-measurement accuracy is improved by 2.096 times, and the dual-channel interferometric data acquisition method can significantly enhance the data retrieval accuracy.
