With the development of laser communication networking, laser-ranging technology is becoming more and more applicable. In this paper, high-accuracy ranging is implemented based on intradyne coherent detection at a communication rate of 1048.576 Mbps. The ranging accuracy is affected by clock phase calculation error and code loop track error. Parallel clock phase difference calculation, frame head correlation, and ranging ambiguity region handle are combined with the ranging calibration method, realizing millimeter-level corrected distance measurement. Dynamic range measurement above 1 m is proven to be continuous through the ranging ambiguity region handle. In addition, high-precision clock frequency deviation between two asynchronous terminals can be obtained through derivation of one-way distance at static ranging or by derivative of distance difference at bidirectional ranging. The methods proposed in this paper are verified by inter-satellite laser-ranging on orbit, and the results are analyzed.
