AWR6843ISK: Occupancy plus vital signs chirp configs

Part Number: AWR6843ISK

Hello TI expert,

Im currently working on occupancy and vital signs lab in automotive toolbox but i cannot understand the config below. Why do we need 2 seperate chirpCfg in this case and what is the different between them? Many thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    I would recommend to go over mmWave SDK user guide to get the detail of these CLI command parameter details.

    chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1   [ last parameter is to select TX antenna, here we use two set of chirp configuration 1st: uses TX0 (1) , 2nd uses TX2 (4) to send signal for that chirp]
    chirpCfg 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 4
    frameCfg 0 1 168 0 107 1 0  [ in a frame we start with chirpStartIdx :0 and chirpEndIdx:1 and loop it by 168 times]

    Now for the performance for this demo we need to have seperate set of TXs within frame, that's the reason to use these chirp config.

    Regards,

    Jitendra

  • Are there any specific reason behind using TX0(1) and TX2(4) or 2 set of chirp configuration can uses any 2 TX antenna, for example like TX1(2) and TX2(4)?

  • Hi, 

    That would depend on the antenna configuration and virtual antenna used for the demo. The performance may differ based on the type of antenna layout.
