AWR1843BOOST: Point cloud data issue with higher FPS

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

Hi,

I'm currently undertaking a project to sense human vital signs and ECG using mmwave radar. I've chosen to use AWR1843BOOST in my experiment. Since ECG sensing requires a high FPS, may I ask if AWR1843BOOST is able to achieve a FPS of 200 (or at least above 120) theoretically and practically?

I'm currently trying to write a Python script to configure the radar and receive point cloud data from UART through USB. The script is based on the MATLAB demo code. However I'm getting all zeros for z-axis and doppler velocity when I try to increase the fps. I have attached my radar configuration with mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
