AWR1642BOOST: Radar Studio with EVM alone?

Robert Licklider

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

The EVM works very well over USB.  I'd like to use Radar Studio to guide my tour of the chirp parameter space.  Is there a standalone tool available?  I don't have a TSW1400.

Best regards,

Bob Licklider

    Hello Bob,
    If you are looking at changing the chirp configurations you could do that using a standalone EVM by using the config file in the mmw demo application. The SDK user guide , section 3.5, explains all the parameters in the configuration file and you could change those and load them back using the demo visualizer.

    Hello, Vivek

    That's what I'm doing, albeit using the capture demo. Since you mentioned it, will the demo visualizer plotter handle the entire chirp configuration space? I find it difficult, if not impossible, to program the visualization demo for something like 512 chirps/frame with an 80 MHz/usec slope and 16 MS/s digitization rate. I'm working that now with the capture demo. The data is much more pleasing, particularly when you window it before the FFT. Averaging chirps as a filter works way better than I expected - thank you for the suggestion in capture_demo.m.

    This is why I'd appreciate Radar Studio. From your answer, it doesn't sound like it's available as a standalone tool. That's OK, I just wanted to know. Back to work!

    Best regards,
    Bob

    Hello Bob,
    I agree radar studio provides much more flexibility , but for that you would need a devpack and external LVDS capture card.
