Hello,

I have a question about the signal for IWR1642. Can we get the received signal strength(RSS) or CSI by using IWR1642?

Hi,

I believe you could calculate this by taking the SNR and noise floor values and calculating the signal strength for a specific peak/point.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I am not sure if I can calculate it. Because I am using DCA1000EVM to get the ADC data. Do you know how to calculate it?

Hi,

There are some Matlab scripts included in mmWave Studio which can be used as examples of how to process the raw data. I would recommend that you refer to those.

Best Regards,
