I want to set up chirp parameters for the MRR case given below.
Parameter Units MRR
Max unambiguous range m 125
Sweep bandwidth MHz 540
Ramp slope MHz/us 12
Inter-chirp duration us 10
Number of chirps 128
Range resolution m 0.28
Chirp duration us 45
Max umambiguous relative velocity kmph 63.75
Max beat frequency MHz 10
ADC sampling rate (complex) Msps 11.11
Number of samples per chirp 500
Range FFT size 512
Frame time (total) ms 7.04
Frame time (active) ms 5.76
Radar data memory required KB 1024
for the MRR case, what are the values I should assign for the below parameters in the LUA scripts.

local profile_indx = ?
local start_freq = ? -- GHz
local slope = ? -- MHz/us

local tx1OutPowerBackoffCode = ?
local tx2OutPowerBackoffCode = ?
local tx0PhaseShifter = ?
local tx1PhaseShifter = ?

-- Frame configuration
local start_chirp_tx = ?
local end_chirp_tx = ?
local nchirp_loops = ? -- Number of chirps per frame

local nDummy_chirp = 0
local trig_list = {1,2,2,2} -- 1: Software trigger, 2: Hardware trigger
n_files_allocation = 0
data_packaging = ? -- 0: 16-bit, 1: 12-bit
capture_directory = "Cascade_Capture_01"
num_frames_to_capture = ? -- 0: default case; Any positive value - number of frames to capture
framing_type = ? -- 0: infinite, 1: finite
capture_time = ? -- ms
inter_loop_time = ? -- ms
num_loops = ?
Hi Senal,
We do not have such lua script with MRR configuration. I suggest you to go through the Medium Range Radar Users Guide (ti.com) demo from the Radar Toolbox. Download the Radar Toolbox and you will find the MRR demo configuration at radar_toolbox_<DIR>\source\ti\examples\ADAS\medium_range_radar\src\1843\common\mrr_config_chirp_design_MRR80.h. This demo is for AWR1843 and you need to configure it according to your requirements.

we want to detect drones at the low altitudes and high speed in the 20m range. there are four use cases in the cascade user guide (AWR1243 CASCADE ) ( mmwave_studio_cascade_user_guide.pdf ). i want to know what is the correct use case for this one and also what is the correct lua scripts for the ADC data capturing ?
Hi Senal,
Please refer to design guide - Imaging Radar Using Cascaded mmWave Sensor Reference Design (Rev. A) (ti.com).
Beamforming is used to increase the maximum range of detection. Since your use case is to detect objects at shorter distances, you can use MIMO for short range and high angle resolution.
