IWR6843ISK-ODS: Clarification on frameCfg->numLoops

Part Number: IWR6843ISK-ODS

I have been using the mmWave IWR6843ISK-ODS radar sensor along with the 3D People Counting lab in the Industrial Toolbox. I have been referring to this tuning guide.

In section 3.1.3 of the tuning guide (pg22), frameCfg->numLoops is defined as being "the total number of chirps transmitted per TX within a single frame."

However, the table on the same page seems to claim that "this parameter loops the chirps of TX0->TX1->TX2 sequence numLoops times."

However, Figure 7 on pg20 seems to claim that numLoops (NC) is the number of chirps NC for TXN0, TXN1, TXN2, ..., TXNC-1.

So, if numLoops = 4, which of the below options would the chirps within a frame look like:

  1. TX0->TX1->TX2->TX0
  2. TX0->TX1->TX2->TX0->TX1->TX2->TX0->TX1->TX2->TX0->TX1->TX2
  3. TX0->TX1->TX2->TX3
