Good morning,
I would like to get a better understanding of the range processing steps on the radar in order to optimize my configuration files for data capturing. I understand from the SDK documentation (see image) (and some testing with a DCA1000 evaluation board) range processing DPU converts the raw ADC data to a Radar Cube. Specifically it rearranges the adc samples into range bins. While the number of adc samples is a setting in the configuration file, the number of range bins is the number of adc samples rounded up to the next power of 2. The question is: How does the conversion from number of adc samples to the number of range bins work? Is there any zero-padding involved before the FFT is applied? Would you recommend to always choose a number of adc-samples that is a power of 2?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Rik
