IWR6843: Level Sensing

Part Number: IWR6843

Tool/software:

Hello TI,

I'm using high accuracy level sensing example.

I want to transmit only target result over DATA_Port without using visualizer : High Accuracy Visualizer (ti.com)

So I want to handle target result information : range / amplitude

Q1. How can I handle each target's range(m), amplitude(dB) data?

Q2. Can I get more peaks? (Level sensing example provides 3 peaks basically)

And another question,

Is there any example or method for operating IWR6843 as passive mode?
(With using 2 sensors, S1's role is TX only, S2's role is RX only)

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Regards,

  • Hi

    1. To be able to understand the format of the peaks sent out through UART, please refer to MmwDemo_transmitProcessedOutput() in mss_main.c in the level sensing source code

    2. In this demo, only 3 peaks are computed. To be able to send more peaks, you can modify the source code to compute more peaks. Please refer to RADARDEMO_highAccuRangeProc.c to include the logic to compute more than 3 peaks

    It is not possible to operate IWR6843 in passive mode.
