Part Number: AWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWCAS-RF-EVM

Hi,
I am using the MMWCAS-RF-EVM board, with its attached DSP board. I have set the board up, and have run the Cascade_Configuration_MIMO.lua script followed by the cascade capture lua script, as mentioned in the pdf. I am using mmwavestudio version 02_01_01_00, and the metalimage as mmwave_dfp_02_02_05_00. The chip on the board is AWR22432

When I do the default post-processing in mmWave Studio, I have observed that the output is the same regardless of where I point the radar. I tried using a corner reflector, and it wasn't getting detected. Even covering the antenna with my hand at a close distance led to the same output. I have ensured that no test source was enabled, and that the connection between the RF board and DSP board is tight. I even tried running the experiment in an anechoic chamber with a corner reflector, but I got the same results.

One thing to note is that when I run the Test Source Lua configuration script, I get a different output than the MIMO configuration, but this discrepancy remains constant regardless of where I point the radar. Any help would be appreciated here. Is it a hardware issue or a software issue? Is it possible that the PostProc from the mmwave studio application itself is not functioning properly?
