IWR6843: How to set beamform in mmwave studio

Genius 13655 points
Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST,

Hello Champs,

Customer used IWR6843ISK+MMWAVEICBOOST+DCA1000 to capture raw data, he wanted to detect two objects which are in the same distance but in different angle by using Beamform. 

How to configure beamform in mmwave studio to get below result.




Thanks

  • Hi Shine,

    Is the customer referring to TX beamsteering here (pointing the transmitted wave in different directions) or RX beamforming (reconstructing the angle information from readings from multiple receivers)? TX beamsteering will not necessarily improve resolvability of multiple objects because of its side-lobe power. RX beamforming may improve resolvability, but that will depend on the algorithm used, which is not something mmWave Studio does.

    Best,

    Nate
