AWR1642BOOST: How to convert data into Slow time and Fast time matrix

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Hi,

I converted the data captured through the DAC1000 using the MATLAB script given by TI document swra581b. It is said to use any row of the matrix for further processing. I wanted to convert the row into a slow-time and fast-time matrix, as shown in the below image. I have a few questions:

  1. I came up with two ways to make a slow-time and fast-time matrix.?
    1. Consider an ADC sample of a single chirp as the first row and an ADC sample of a second chirp as the second row, and so on. This way row would become a fast time, and the column would slow time.
    2. Take a frame(ADC Samples multiplied by the Number of Chirps) as a first row and a similar second frame as a second row, and so on. 
  2. I note that the matrix column values transformed by the TI MATLAB code are wrapped in double brackets(see the below image). In general, matrix columns do not include a bracket around the value. Should I take the double bracket out before applying range or doppler FFT on the row?

  • Hi,

    Yes, once you understand the data you can organize it the way it is more useful for your processing.

    Regarding matlab questions, we think that the mathworks forums are better suited for support.

    Thank you
