MMWAVEICBOOST: Recommended radar for debris flow measurements

Part Number: MMWAVEICBOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWRL6432, IWRL6432BOOST, IWR6843

Tool/software:

Hello,

We are looking for a suitable radar to detect the speed and height of debris flow - the setup/dimensions would be similar to the situation in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUBV7pCJUVM

Do you have any recommended devices from the portfolio?

Thank you very much for your advice!

Hey Noel,

Sorry for the delay here, this is a very cool application for millimeter wavelength radar and I believe would be very possible with TI's mmWave radar sensor offerings. What distances would the sensor be posted at? The example project that would most similarly fit the application at hand is our True Ground Speed example project, where we use the radar sensor and point it at the ground in order to determine the speed of the platform the radar is mounted on. However this example project is intended for our low power low cost device (IWRL6432 using IWRL6432BOOST EVM) due to the short distance between sensor and ground. For larger distances, our higher performance part IWR6843 may be needed.
