AWRL6432: 2D capon demo

Part Number: AWRL6432

Tool/software:

Hi TI experts,
 

I am now using 6432 2D capon demo in radar tool box.
I want to output doppler value, but I notice it is not supported in this demo.

Is this calculable?

Regards
Liam

  • Hi Liam,

    I have looped in our SW expert. Please allow us a day or so to provide the respond.

  • Hi,

    Sure.

    Thanks,

  • Hi,

    We're looking into this now.

    Thanks,

  • Hi, Liam:

    Since Capon2D chain uses minor mode, i.e., the chirps cross several frames will be processed together to detect the movement.  The minor mode increases the observation window and improves sensitivity.   However, all the chirps cross several frames do not have even space between them, that is why we did not estimate the Doppler information for minor mode.

  • Hi Zigang,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I know the doppler value will be in a rather low confidence. 
    From motion and detection demo, there is a dopplerIndexMatrix that includes the dopplerIdx, and we can estimate a doppler value even though it is unevenly sampled. 


    Is the dopplerIdx saved in HWA output from Capon2D chain?

    Regards

  • Hi, Liam:

    Unfortunately, the doppler peak is not calculated and saved for each range bin.   In the current code,

    If doppBinningEnabled == 1

       Doppler FFT is applied for each frame inside the following function:  doaProc_configHwa_prepCapon

    If doppBinningEnabled == 0

      There is no Doppler FFT applied. 

    You will have to modify the doaproc DPU, and particularly modify the function doaProc_configHwa_prepCapon to add the function you wanted.
