IWR6843AOP: Radar rotated 90 degrees clockwise

Part Number: IWR6843AOP
Hello,

We are currently using a IWR6843AOP in our device, however the radar is turned 90 degrees in the clockwise direction.

In order to be able to correctly use your detection, tracking and point cloud algorithms. We need to fix this rotation.

We would like to know if it is possible to fix the rotation, using the parameters described in this documentation : e2e.ti.com/.../102[…]0_counting_5F00_detection_5F00_layer_5F00_tuning_5F00_guide.pdf (page 38 : 3.3.1. Antenna Geometry Configuration)

Our theory is that since the radar is turned 90 degrees in the clockwise direction. The virtual antenna patterns will looks like this:


And we now need to use these parameters: antGeometry0: -2 -3 -2 -3 0 -1 0 -1 0 -1 0 -1 antGeometry1: -1 -1 0 0 -3 -3 -2 -2 -1 -1 0 0 Instead of the recommended parameters for IWR6843AOP: antGeometry0: -1 -1 0 0 -3 -3 -2 -2 -1 -1 0 0 antGeometry1: -1 0 -1 0 -3 -2 -3 -2 -3 -2 -3 -2 1. Is this the right way to fix the radar rotation ? 2. If not, is there a way to fix the radar rotation ?
