IWR6843AOPEVM: Matching heatmap and point cloud

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

Hello,

I've plotted the point cloud on the heatmap and found that the peaks have not aligned. What causes the peaks to not match?

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Aleksey,

It seems that most of your points are correct. Are you running the sensor in a 2D configuration? Note that elevation is not considered in this plot.

I'm running the sensor in a 3D configuration. Where is not elevation considered?

The heatmap you have provided is azimuth only and does not consider elevation.
