IWR2944: Program mmWave studio to read RCS measurements

Part Number: IWR2944
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

Tool/software:

Hello E2E Experts,

Good day.

I am looking for MMWAVE-SDK code examples.

I am attempting to program mmWave studio to read RCS measurements from a xWR2944 radar in C++.

Thes SDK has header files I can use but I need to see some example code.

I am attempting to write a C++ program in visual studios to query mmWave Studio to take radar measurements. My issues Specifically are importing the drivers into visual studios, and finding example code to have an idea of how to use the driver functions.

Regards,

TICSC

  • Hello.

    We don't have any examples of such programs, but we do provide APIs that you can use to interface with mmWave studio.  We provide Lua Scripts that you can run in mmWave Studio to take measurements and MATLAB programs as well.  With regards to computing RCS, you may not be able to do this directly in mmWave studio but you can use the range equation based on SNR to solve for RCS based on the raw data you collect.

    Sincerely,

    Santosh

  • Hello Santosh,

    Good day.

    Could you provide this APIs, lua script or show me where to find it? MATLAB codes as well?

  • Hello.

    If you go to the mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\SourceCode\RF_API folder in mmWaveStudio installation, you can find some C++ header and cpp files that you might find useful.  You can also find scripts in the mmWaveStudio\Scripts folder in your mmWaveStudio installation.

    Sincerely,

    Santosh
