AWR6843AOP: Heart Rate Underestimation by AWR6843AOP in a Treadmill Scenario

WEN SEN LI

Part Number: AWR6843AOP

Tool/software:

Hi Ti experts,

Currently, we are using the AWR6843AOP “vital signs with people tracking” sample code to test people in motion.
The scenario is that the radar is mounted in front of a treadmill.
Through testing, we’ve found that when the fitness tracker already shows a heart rate of 110 bpm, the heart rate output by the AWR6843AOP TLV remains below 80. Could you please advise which parameters we could adjust to correct this?
Or do you have a better approach you could suggest?

thanks,

Vincent

Hi,

We cannot guarantee stable results when the subject is moving on a treadmill.

Best,

Nate

Hi Nathan,

We tested a scenario where my heart rate is actually 110 bpm while standing still in front of the radar, but the AWR6843AOP still reports it as below 80 bpm. Could you please let me know which part of the code we should modify to fix this issue?

thanks
Vincent

Hi Vincent,

Can you use the visualizer from the below location?

radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03\tools\visualizers\Industrial_Visualizer\mmWave_Industrial_Visualizer.exe

Due to a bug in the latest visualizer versions HR does not update
