AWR1243: P Cascade Radar : very low contrast data

Alice Ruget

Part Number: AWR1243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM, TIDEP-01012, TDA2

Hi,

I am using the TI AWR1243P Cascade Radar evaluation board (TIDEP-01012) with the TI MMWCAS-DSP-EVM Evaluation module (TIDEP-01017).

I tried both the MIMO script and the TxBF lua script and the postprocessing files that are in the Matlab examples.

A picture of the setup is below: I am looking at a metallic plaque which is at about 4m away.

Below are the results I obtain with both scripts.

The range azimuth heatmaps show some blobs but with very low contrast, do you know what could be the reason for it?

The range profile seems to indicate that I have a very high background signal at about 100dB, is that correct?

Thank you very much,

With the TxBF script

With the MIMO script

Hi Alice,

The plot does not look correct. The ADC data could be wrong. Is this observation repeatable? Would advice to follow all the steps correctly.

Hi Abhed,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I did it multiple times and always get the same result. Do you have an intuition on where could come the mistake?

Hi,

The data appears to be not collected correctly. You need to look at the waveform of the raw ADC data. Typically, the ADC data looks like some sinusoid, and should not have any spikes.

Hi,

Here are some plots of the adcADC data that I gather for different receiver and transmit antennas. Is it to be expected?

Hi Alice,

Is this from mmWave Studio? This waveform doesn't look good. It should be a cleaner sinusoidal waveform.

Hi Abhed,

I am using mmWaveStudio to take the data and I am using the matlab file cascade_MIMO_signalProcessing.m to get the raw data. I am plotting here the variable adcData.

Do you know what tests I could do to narrow down the problem?
I am using the lua script Cascade_Configuration_MIMO.lua and Cascade_Capture.lua within mmWaveStudio and then after the transfer, I use the cascade_MIMO_signalProcessing.m in matlab to plot the results.

Hi,

Did you try the manual way of configuring the devices and then capture and using the inbilt post processing of studio?

Hi,

I tried using the inbuilt post processing of studio after running the lua script.

I have very different results than with the Matlab code cascade_MIMO_signalProcessing.m.

Please find here the different results.

The setup : The building is about 20 meters away and the trees at 13 m.

Results with lua scripts + inbult post-processing of studio :

Results with lua scrips + matlab cascade_MIMO_signalProcessing.m :

The range/velocity plots and the rangle-angle plots should be the same in my understanding. Yes they look very different, and both looks wrong with respect to the scene that I am imaging.

Could you explain please to what correspond the 4 devices ( one master and 3 slaves) with respect to the 16 Rx channels and 12 Tx channels?

0 Abhed Misra over 3 years ago in reply to Alice Ruget

TI__Genius 13805 points

Hi Alice,

so the graphs indeed look unexpected, but with Glass being placed very close also has impact. I would suggest to perform the same experiment just outside the window, facing same view.

On the TX and RX channels is your query on location of Primary and secondary devices physically on the board? If yes then you can find that detail in design documents.

Hi Abhed,

Thank you for your response. I did the same tests again without the windows multiple times and always get similar results as displayed below.

With the inbuilt functions :

Hi Alice,

Can you share the steps which you followed in manual configuration, may be the log file?

Here is the Cascade_capture.lua script

--[[

A. FRAMING & CAPTURE

1. Triggering Slave (3, 2, 1) sequentially in a hardware triggered mode.

2. Triggering Master in a software triggered mode.

B. TRANSFERRING FILES

1. The data is stored in file(s) with max cap placed at 2 GB.

2. The files can be retrieved from the SSD (/mnt/ssd folder) using WinSCP.

Note: Update lines 17 to 43 as needed before using this script.

--]]

-- Note: "capture_time" is a timeout for this script alone to exit - it does not control the actual duration of capture.

-- The actual capture duration depends on the configured frame time and number of frames

capture_time = 3000 -- ms

inter_loop_time = 2000 -- ms

num_loops = 1

-- Note: Change the following three parameters as desired:

-- n_files_allocation: is the number of files to preallocate on the SSD.

-- This improves capture reliability by not having frame drops while switching files.

-- The tradeoff is that each file is a fixed 2047 MB even if a smaller number of frames are captured.

-- Pre-allocate as many files as needed based on (size_per_frame * number_of_frames) to be captured

-- data_packaging: select whether to use 16-bit ADC data as is, or drop 4 lsbits and save 4*12-bit numbers in a packed form

-- This allows a higher frame rate to be achieved, at the expense of some post-processing to unpack the data later.

-- (Matlab should still be able to unpack the data using the '*ubit12' argument to fread instead of 'uint16')

-- The default is no-packing, for simplicity

-- capture_directory: is the filename under which captures are stored on the SSD

-- and is also the directory to which files will be transferred back to the host

-- The captures are copied to the PostProc folder within mmWave Studio

-- Note: If this script is called multiple times without changing the directory name, then all captured files will be in the same directory.

-- with filename suffixes incremented automatically. It may be hard to know which captured files correspond to which run of the script.

-- Note: It is strongly recommended to change this directory name between captures.

Thank you very much for your help.

We noticed as well that the board had some dirt on it, could it be a reason why it doesn't work well?

Hi Abhed,

I did another experiment by placing a corner reflector (3D printed+cover in metallic tape) close to the device. I can see it well on the data but it seems that the range value is wrong. I see a peak at about 3meters but the reflector was at about 50cm of the device. I don't find yet where this issue in the range could come from and was wondering if you had an idea?

Here is some images:

the homemade corner reflector:

the setup :

the data : (the peak in the range/velocity plot appears at the bin 50 which corresponds to 3m. The current setup should be for a maximum range of 15m.)

Thank you very much!

Hi Alice,

You see this as it is strong object and is close. But this does mean your setup is all OK, and the configuration steps also seem to be OK. I believe you can repeat the similar setup with outside/older environment and observe the results. Also you can have this reflector fixed on a tripod a vary the distance in a room/hall from the mmwave sensor to reflect in the corresponding bin.
