IWR6843ISK: Range measurement

Aleena N A

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

Hello everyone,

I have to calculate the range continously using a IWR6843ISK placed on a moving object. Is it possible? If yes, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Alex Chan,

I want to use it for collision detection in which the radar is placed on a moving object.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Aleena,

All of the demos and applications of the mmWave radar EVMs have continuous measurements. Collision detection is definitely a use case with the mmWave radar EVMs. For example there are resources and labs showcasing the use of mmWave radar EVMs in robotics for sensing and avoidance. Please see the following resources.
