Hi, I'm luke.
I'm developing a SLAM system using radar for indoor.
However, I use the sensor 45 degrees up-inside inside the ice rink, and the radar output seems abnormal.
I would like to know if the ice on the floor affects the radar signal.

Hello Luke,
Yes, because ice is a reflective surface, the floor will reflect the signals with a high level of SNR (signal-noise-ratio). To counteract this, you can do several things. One being that you can turn down the CFAR thresholds via the configuration file. This will filter out points that are higher SNR, but lower than an actual object. Another will be turning down TX power if it is not at zero.
