AWR1843AOPEVM: Details data packet of AWR1843AOPEVM

Part Number: AWR1843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

I am currently working with the AWR1843AOPEVM radar sensor and following the Auto MRR User's Guide. I have successfully flashed the xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin file located at

C:\ti\radar_toolbox_2_20_00_05\source\ti\examples\ADAS\medium_range_radar\ after rebuild the demo to support only MRR subframes. ( changes done in the mrr_config_consts.h)


Here is the setup I am using:
CCS version: 12.8
SDK version: 3.6
Radar module: AWR1843AOPEVM
UniFlash version: 8.8

After flashing, I placed the radar in front of a wall, ensuring no moving objects were present. I then captured the packet data via USB using RealTerm.

below is the one of the packet data (in Hex value)

Issue & Query:

1. Given the setup environment with no moving objects, the extracted speed value of 1305 m/s (1905---> hex value 519 --> decimal value is 1305 m/sec )for Object 8 seems incorrect. The expected speed should be zero or near-zero.

2. Could you confirm if the extracted packet structure and interpretation are correct?

3. Additionally, what could be the potential reason for the incorrect speed values in a static environment?

for the object 8, the relative speed is the (1905---> hex value 519 --> decimal value is 1305 m/sec )  that is wrong because there is no moving object in the setup environment .
