AWR1843BOOST: Operation by AWR1843BOOST with advFrameCfg configuration

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

Hi,

I want to run AWR1843BOOST with advFrame configuration for getting alternate chirp pattern. (by SDK3.4)

I tried to run out_of_box demo with profile_advanced_subframe.cfg in demo folder.

But it doesn't seem to work well.

I guess I should be able to get detection data detection data alternately every frame by this configuration file.

Is it right?

Please let me know if I make mistake.

Best Regards,

Kazuki

  • Hi Kazuki-san,

    I am not able to understand the use case or the end application. Can you clarify what is the use case and what results are you expecting. Also, can you let us know are you using the  profile_advanced_subframe.cfg as it is or have you made any modifications to the file. Also please refer to the DFP user guide (part of the DFP package) for more information on advanced frame configurations.

    Thanks,

    Pradipta.

  • Hi Pradipta-san,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I want to use alternate chirp parameter frame by frame.

    For example, if two chirp pattern mode#1 and mode#2 are defined I want to get results as below.

    Frame#1 : Results by mode#1

    Frame#2 : Results by mode#2

    Frame#3 : Results by mode#1

    Frame#4 : Results by mode#2

    .....

    So far, I am using the  profile_advanced_subframe.cfg as it is.

    Is this configuration file available by OOB demo?

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Kazuki-san,

    If you are using the cfg file as it is, then it will not give you desired results. OOB demo is using a different configuration for advance frames and your requirement is different. First i will request you to go through the documentation we pointed to you in the previous message (DFP user guide). You can download the 2G version and go through the documentation to understand the structure of advance frame. Once you understand the structuring you will be able to generate the required frame for your use case. Do let me know if you face any issues and we can discuss further.

  • Hi Pradipta-san,
    Thank you for sharing good reference.

    I want to get detection results by 4 profiles pattern by 3 Tx and 2 Tx as below.


    I defined below profile(extract only chipCfg, advFrameCfg and subFrameCfg).
    chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
    chirpCfg 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 4
    chirpCfg 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 2

    chirpCfg 3 3 1 0 0 0 0 1
    chirpCfg 4 4 1 0 0 0 0 4
    chirpCfg 5 5 1 0 0 0 0 2

    chirpCfg 6 6 2 0 0 0 0 2
    chirpCfg 7 7 2 0 0 0 0 4

    chirpCfg 8 8 3 0 0 0 0 2
    chirpCfg 9 9 3 0 0 0 0 4

    advFrameCfg 4 0 0 1 0
    subFrameCfg 0 0 0 3 64 50 0 1 1 50
    subFrameCfg 1 0 3 5 64 50 0 1 1 50
    subFrameCfg 2 0 6 2 64 50 0 1 1 50
    subFrameCfg 3 0 8 2 64 50 0 1 1 50

    But radiated patters show only profile 0 and profile 2.

    Please let me know if I have a mistake.

  • Hi,

    I made a mistake.

    I defined below profile for getting chirp pattern which I shown.

    Detection results looks correct.

    Have this profile generated chirp pattern which I need?

    chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
    chirpCfg 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 4
    chirpCfg 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 2
    chirpCfg 3 3 1 0 0 0 0 1
    chirpCfg 4 4 1 0 0 0 0 4
    chirpCfg 5 5 1 0 0 0 0 2
    chirpCfg 6 6 2 0 0 0 0 2
    chirpCfg 7 7 2 0 0 0 0 4
     
    chirpCfg 8 8 3 0 0 0 0 2
    chirpCfg 9 9 3 0 0 0 0 4



    advFrameCfg 4 0 0 2 0
    subFrameCfg 0 0 0 3 64 50 0 1 1 50
    subFrameCfg 1 0 3 3 64 50 0 1 1 50
    subFrameCfg 2 0 6 2 64 50 0 1 1 50
    subFrameCfg 3 0 8 2 64 50 0 1 1 50

  • Hi Kazuki-san,

    Can you kindly confirm the chirp pattern you require?  Are you still looking for alternate chirps mode1 and mode 2 as you explained previously?

    Thanks,

    Pradipta.
