AWR1843: transferring IQ data from detected range without dca

Isabella Lenz
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: AWR1843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM,

Tool/software:

I have been working with the awr1843 and dca1000evm through mmwave to collect lvds data. I am then doing processing matlab. 

I am to a point where I would like to consolidate the size of my prototype and stream data in real time. The application I am working on is vibration sensing. I am using very high frame rate (2000 frames per second) and only one chirp per frame (I am not doing traditional doppler processing). The capture the vibration signal by looking at the phase oscillation of the IQ sample of a detected range bin across frames. 

I would like to use the awr1843 without the dca1000evm. I would like to sum the channels to boresight, do the range fft and detect the range bin, detect the target, and then transfer the IQ point of the detected range bin to the PC for further processing. This would requre transferring 2000 IQ points per second. My question is is this frame rate possible and is it possible to stream the actual IQ value? If so could you also point me to the example that is most similar to this application?
