Hello everyone,
I am using the peak value sent via CAN FD communication on my AWR1542 Boost radar to develop a thesis topic. Could someone explain to me what this value means and how I can translate it to a more understandable value?
Thank you

Hello Julio,
Could you please confirm which SDK version you are using and which example you are utilizing for this CAN communication?

Hello Saswat,
i am currently using the automotive toolbox 3.6.0. I thing it uses the sdk 2.0.5 with the lab 'Data Over Can'

Hi Julio,
To understand peak values could you refer to the e2e thread : (+) IWR1443BOOST: About the unit of peak value? - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums
This has links to other similar doubts as well, which can help you understand what exactly peak value is of the detected object.
CAN is used only for communication.

Hi Saswat,
I see that this value corresponds to the FFT peak value, but i havent found any formula to translate it to a more understandable value. Could you maybe help me with that?

Hi Julio,
In the data over CAN FD could you point out to which peak value that you are looking for?

i refer to the peak value sent together with these other values in the same frame.
Hi Julio,
So this indicates the peak value data type, but in the code could you point out to which particular peak value that you want more information on?
Also as peak what do you exactly mean when you want a formula for the peak? What are you getting the peak values in and what do you want to convert it to? The peak is just the max value of the FFT peak.

Hi Saswat,
i would like to have that same max peak of the FFT but in a value with a unity, like dezibels for example. Is that possible?

Julio
Hi Julio,
Could you confirm whether the value you are noticing is in decimal or floating point value for the peak?
