AWR1642BOOST: Radar selection for output processed data (RD map and point cloud) in real time

Jiarui Zhang
Prodigy 70 points
Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843BOOST, AWR2944EVM,

Hi Ti team,

Currently I have AWR1643BOOST,AWR1843BOOST and AWR2944EVM. My objective is to capture processed data including RD map and point cloud from them in real time instead of using DCA1000 to capture raw data. 

Is it possible that you can give me some suggestions which board is better to achieve my objective?

In addition, we are focusing on short range and medium range. In that case, could you also suggest the corresponding bin file used for that board? 

Thank you!

Best regards,

Jiarui

    Hi,

    What is your definition of short range and medium range?

    Thank you

    Hi Cesar,

    Short range : the max range of radar observes is about 20 meters;

    Medium range: the max range of radar observes is about  50 meters;

    Thanks and looking forward to your suggestions.

    Best regards,

    Jiarui

    Hi,

    If you are interested in the elevation information you will need to use AWR1843BOOST EVM.

    For software you have several options

    • mmWave SDK 3.5 oob demo.
      • this demo supports MIMO
      • A configuration for 20m can be used
      • A configuration for 50m can be used
      • This demo does not support tracking

    • MMR demo (labs\lab0007_medium_range_radar)
      • This demo supports alternate sub-frames short range/medium range
      • The short range sub-frames use MIMO
      • The medium range sub-frames use all TX enabled at the same time (not MIMO)
        • In this mode the max range is ~120m
        • Tracking is supported

    If you are interested only in azimuth information you can use the AWR1642BOOST EVM

    For software you have several options

    • mmWave SDK 3.5 oob demo.
      • this demo supports MIMO
      • A configuration for 20m can be used
      • A configuration for 50m can be used
      • This demo does not support tracking

    • SRR demo (labs\lab0002_short_range_radar)
      • This demo supports alternate sub-frames short range/medium range
      • The short range sub-frames use MIMO
      • The medium range sub-frames use all TX enabled at the same time (not MIMO)
        • In this mode the max range is ~80m
        • Tracking is supported

    Thank you

    Hi Cesar,

    This is very helpful but I still want to generate RD map from these two bin files. For OOB demo, it can definitely generate RD map, however it does not support tracking as you mentioned. For MRR\SRR, they support tracking but I have read their TLV data format, they do not provide RD map.

    Is there some way to generate both tracking result and RD map?

    Thanks and Best regards,

    Jiarui

    Hi,

    In the MRR demo it will not be possible to generate the RD map for the simple reason that the RD map is not generated in the code.

    The demo is designed for performance and all the memory was used to increase the performance.

    So this will not be possible

    thank you
