CCS/IWR1443BOOST: how to get more than one receive antenna information

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

hello,

 I'm looking for information of two or three receive antennas information from the vital_signs code, as the demo just used one receive antenna, how can i get another receive antenna information?

thank you~

  • Hello,

    For this demo all Four Receive (Rx) Antennas are already enabled. To alter this configuration, navigate to the "profile_2d_VitalSigns_20fps.cfg" file, it should be located in your mmWave Training folder (\mmwave_training_1_2_1\labs\lab0002-vital-signs\lab0002_vital_signs_gui).

    Open it up in an editor and take a look at line 4: channelCfg 15 1 0

    The 15 refers to EACH Rx antenna enabled in this lab written as a binary number: 0b'1111 = 15 (so all four Rx antenna enabled)

    The next number (1) referes to EACH Tx antenna in the same way, so all three enabled would 0b'111 = 7. Since it is 0b'001 = 1, only the first Tx Antenna has been enabled. Let me know if this resolves your question.
