IWR6843: strange angleFFT at low-range

Part Number: IWR6843

Hello,

I'm facing a problem with the IWR6843. While the system correctly works in the most of the time, I just find a problem when a target approaches at low range. 

On my image bellow the point cloud generated after processing. Green points are correct, it's a approaching target coming from left side. And systematically, a group of points are generated in front of the sensor (witch is at the origin). All looks good: range doppler map, CFAR. But the angleFFT gives this strange phenomenon at low range. We can see the magnitude of the angleFFT for a good points (green) and a wrong point (red).

It's not a multipath reflection because ghost points are at the same radial distance.

When the target cross the scene at long range, the problem is not present.

Do you know this problem? 

    

Thank and and best regards,

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your query. Please allow us a couple of days to respond to your question 

  • Hello, 

    My apologies for the delay here. Your patience is greatly appreciated. 

    I have a few questions which will help me to better understand your situation. 

    1. What version of the mmWave SDK are you currently using?
    2. Are you running one of our example demos such as the Out of Box demo?
      1. If so please let me know which demo you are running and the SDK/Radar Toolbox version that it is obtained from.
      2. If you are running one of our example demos, have you made any modifications to the demo code?
    3. Are you using one of our EVM boards or is this with a custom designed board?
      1. If using one of our EVMs, which antenna design is your EVM (ISK, ISK-ODS)?

    Best Regards,

    Josh
