AWR1642BOOST: How can i modify the object detection range of radar module for "Short Range Radar"

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

I am currently working with the AWR1642BOOST radar sensor and following the Auto SRR User's Guide. I have successfully flashed the srrdemo_16xx.bin file located at

<RADAR_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_DIR>\source\ti\examples\ADAS\short_range_radar\prebuilt_binaries\ and observed number of detected object.


Here is the setup I am using:
CCS version: 12.8
SDK version: 3.6
Radar module: AWR1642BOOST
UniFlash version: 8.8

I want to know

1.  what is the default range of object detection of the radar in this demo "Short_range_radar"?

2. How can i modify the object detection range of radar module for "Short Range Radar" SDK  by changing the code in the CCS tool ?

Thanks

    The SRR demo was initially designed for 80m, but with current chirp design for 120m(short_range_radar\src\1642\common\srr_config_chirp_design_SRR120.h)  this will help in detecting objects at 120m(boresight). To enable 120m detection, uncomment line 152 of short_range_radar\src\1642\common\srr_config_consts.h.

    What is the maximum range that you want to detect? Please refer to the files named as srr_config_chirp_design_*.h at short_range_radar\src\1642\common\ folder for the SRR demo configuration.

    Refer to Programming Chirp Parameters in TI Radar Devices (Rev. A) to update the configuration according to your usecase.

    Hello Samhitha,

    Thank you for your response regarding modifying the code to change the detection range. I haven’t tested it yet, but I will modify the code and check the output soon.

    Additionally, I have a question:


    Is it possible to configure the Field of View (FOV) to achieve a detection range of 80 meters with a width of 5 meters? If yes, could you guide me on how to make these changes in the code or configuration files?

    Regards,

    Mitesh

    You can check the MRR beamsteering examples to configure a beam in the required direction. Instead of steering the beam across in multiple directions, you can configure a single beam with your requirements.
