IWRL1432BOOST: Questions of Measurement Procedure Implementation

Part Number: IWRL1432BOOST

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

My customer found the different between the two contents in red boxes below:

For the Measurement Procedure, which mode is correct? In the first box, it says assuming BPM-MIMO mode and then the Steps in the second box is TDM MIMO mode. 

Could you please explain that?

BTW, you mentioned the corner reflector used for calibration. What kind of reflector do you recommend? It's great if you can give me a specific part number.

BR,

Moon

  • Hello Moon,

    This is an error in the SDK documentation, it should be TDM MIMO.

    As far as recommended corner reflector for calibration, we would recommend a trihedral triangular plated corner reflector made out of either stainless steel or aluminum. 

    As far as the edge length, if you want to have a human target RCS rated corner reflector, edge length will need to be around 5cm to 6cm.

    The formula for a corner reflector's RCS can be found in this radar tutorial page. It is the formula at the very bottom.
