AWR6843AOP: Questions About Vital Signs With People Tracking

Part Number: AWR6843AOP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843AOP, IWRL6432, IWR6843

Hello,

I am currently working on a project to measure people's vital signs contactlessly, similar to the Vital Signs With People Tracking Project (https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/content/radar_toolbox_1_30_00_05/source/ti/examples/Medical/Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking/docs/vital_signs_with_people_tracking_user_guide.html). So far, I have purchased various sensors to detect heart rate but have failed due to complex issues. Therefore, I am considering switching to the AWR6843AOP Radar Sensor and have been researching it. After watching the video linked above, I am posting this message.

  1. What level of accuracy can be achieved when measuring actual people? Are there any developers who have verified the measurement limits (e.g., unable to measure heart rates above 140 BPM, etc.)?

  2. I read about the source code of "Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking" in radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03 (https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1331566/awr6843aop-the-source-code-of-vital_signs_with_people_tracking-in-radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03)(Three months ago) and it seems possible to obtain the source code. How can I contact someone to get it?

Finally, if there is a better sensor for this project than the AWR6843AOP, please let me know.

I am posting this question to get help in making the best choice regarding the purchase of TI's AWR6843AOP Radar Sensor.

Thank you.
