IWR6843: About the data format of each millimeter-wave radar IC

Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , , AWR1843

Is it correct to assume that the data formats of IWR6843AoP, IWR6843ISK, IWR6843, and AWR1843 are the same?

I thought that the data format of IWR6843AoP may be different because there was heat map information about Azimuth and Elevation.

Hi,

Are you wondering about the raw ADC data format or the processed radar data output?

Hello, I would like to know about the two data you mentioned.

By the way, 'the processed radar data output' you are talking about is recognition of distance and coordinate data.

Hi,

Yes, by 'processed radar data' I mean outputs such as 3D Point Cloud, Range Profile, etc...

For information on these types of output data please see our Output Data format guide.

For information regarding raw ADC data output format, you can refer to the DCA1000 mmWave Studio User Guide and this ADC Data Capture app note.

Best Regards,

Josh
