Tool/software:

Good evening,

I am part of an engineering student team looking into radar modules for object detection. The smallest object we are trying to detect is 20cm x 10cm x 34cm. The material is aluminum. Ideally, we would be able to do location tracking and orientation tracking of object at 100m meter but at a minimum 30 meters. What evaluation modal would you suggest for this application? We are thinking of using the IWR6843ISK module.

Thanks,

Nikolas

Hi Nikolas,

I don't know if this is possible, but if it is, the IWR6843 is the best device we can offer for it. It will be challenging from a link-budget perspective. The distance you want to measure at are large, and the object is small.

Best,

Nate

Hi Nate,

Great! Is there a minimum reading distance for the radar to an object to detect the object's orientation? If object is so close that it is greater than the field of view, will it still be able to detect the object's orientation?

Thanks,

Nikolas

Hi,

The radar device doesn't not detect the orientation of an object. It detects its position. We do not have the angular resolution to detect its orientation with the IWR6843.

Best,

Nate
