MMWAVE-STUDIO: TX Beamforming with AWR1843 and mmWaveStudio

Hi,

I am trying to achieve TX beamforming using AWR1843 and capture raw data with DCA1000 and mmWaveStudio. 

Based on my understanding of  "Beamsteering for Corner Radar Reference Design" and use of mmWaveStudio, I have used the following steps to achieve beamforming, but I am not very sure. Is it possible to help me confirm whether these steps are correct or there are missing steps? Thank you!

My beamforming design is multiple beams within one frame:

Step 1: Select all TX in channel config

Step 2:  Set profile id 0 for angle at -60 degree with phase shifter [ 0, 50.625, 95.625] using the code provided:

theta_desired = -60;
m_ind = [0 1 2];
phaseInc = 5.625;
phaseTX_rad = 2*pi*(m_ind*sind(theta_desired));
phaseTX_deg = (phaseTX_rad)*180/pi;
phaseTX_deg_wrap = wrapTo360(phaseTX_deg);
phaseShifter = round(phaseTX_deg_wrap/phaseInc)*phaseInc;

Step 3:  Set profile id 1 for angle at 60 degree with phase shifter [ 0, 309.375, 264.375]

Step 4: Configure chirp 0 using profile 0 and enable all TX sending signals simultaneously

Step 5: Configure chirp 1 using profile 1 and enable all TX sending signal simultaneously

Step 6: Configure frame

Step 7: Data Capture

DCA1000EVM --> Trigger Frame

In addition, is there any way I can verify I am sending the waveforms in expect chirp design? 

Looking forward to your reply!

Thank you!

Best regards,
