MMWCAS-RF-EVM: Antenna Settings of Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Null (TDA2xx Only) Usecase

Part Number: MMWCAS-RF-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243

Hi, 

I have a quick question on the processor radar sdk of Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Null (TDA2xx Only) Usecase (~/PROCESSOR_SDK_RADAR_03_08_00_00\vision_sdk\apps\src\rtos\radar\src\usecases\cascade_radar_capture_only)

I understand that 8 TX antennas and 16 RX antennas were used in the usecase of Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Radar Object Detect (DSP) + NetworkTx (TDA2xx Only)

My question is how many TX and RX antennas were used for usecase of Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Null (TDA2xx Only) ?

I went through the Processor Radar SDK User Guide and Development Guide. I didn't find any clue. If possible, where are the antenna settings for Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Null (TDA2xx Only) usecase?

Thank very very much for the help!

Best,

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately the team that developed this demo is no longer available for support.

    However you should be able to identify the radar configuration used in the source code.

    Search the source code for key words such as "channelcfg" "profileCfg" "chirpCfg" "profile"

    Thank you

  • Hi Cesar,

    Thanks for reply. I have a quick check. 

    Actually, I didn't find the source file (*.c) of  Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Null (TDA2xx Only) Usecase in the processor radar SDK

    I only find the source files for Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Radar Object Detect (DSP) Usecase and there were some antenna, chirp configurations. 

    Do you know whether the "Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Null (TDA2xx Only) Usecase" shares the same antenna/chirp/profile configuration as Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Radar Object Detect (DSP) Usecase?

    Thanks again.

    Best,

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately our team does not have additional information about this demo.

    Based on the name used, it seems this demo captures raw data. This means that it should accept some configuration.

    If you want to capture raw data we recommend using the directions provided in mmWave Studio and not the Processor SDK code

    Thank you
