AWR2944EVM: numDopplerBins and numAdcSamples

Part Number: AWR2944EVM

Tool/software:

Hello E2E Experts,

Good day.

As shown in the following figure, I see numDopplerBins in the cfarCfg configuration of DDM. May I ask if numDopplerBins is equal to numAdcSamples?

And where is numDopplerBins configured?

Regards,

  • Hi,

    Number of doppler bins configured is equal to the total number of chirps. And number of range bins is equal to number of ADC samples/ 2 in case of AWR2944 since the ADC samples are real only.

    frameCfg 0 5 128 0 384 50 1 0

    In the above configuration, number of unique chirps is 6 and number of chirps loops is 128. So, total number of chirps will be 6*128 = 768 -> number of doppler bins.
