AWRL1432BOOST: How to let Profile config and frame config work with mmWaveBasic SDK with calibrating digital processing chain?

Part Number: AWRL1432BOOST

Hi, All,

mmWaveSensingEstimator\2.3.0\Basic Chirp Creation and Design\

There is a "NOTE: Profile config and frame config provided below are not guaranteed to work with mmWaveBasic SDK without calibrating digital processing chain."

That's why I need help to know how to let Profile config and frame config work with mmWaveBasic SDK with calibrating digital processing chain? How to do calibrating digital processing chain?

Sincerely,

Nelson

  • Hey Nelson,

    Thank you for reaching out regarding your questions. We are looking into this and will get back to you by Monday.

  • Hey Nelson,

    Unfortunately, we don't have any resources specifically for calibrating the detection layer, though we are working on putting together some documentation. For now, I would recommend looking over the tuning guide for the motion and presence detection demo which can be found under <MMWAVE_SDK5_VER>/docs/MotionPresenceDetectionDemo_TuningGuide.pdf. There's a lot of information here, but I would recommend looking over at the least following:

    • p. 32 - Table 2 shows what commands are associated with the detection layer
    • p. 44-48 - Section 3.2.2 breaks down the parameters of the cfarCfg CLI command
    • p . 42-54 - the entirety of Section 3.2 can be useful to read over

    I would recommend starting off with changing the threshold scale of the cfarCfg and observing how it affects point cloud output. This setting impacts the detection performance significantly. As the threshold scale increases, the number of detected points tends to decrease as more points are considered too noisy and are filtered out. 

    Hopefully this gives you a starting point to work off of, but let us know if you have any questions regarding specific detection layer commands.

    Regards,

    Kristien
