AWR1443BOOST: AWRxxxx Indoor application

Andrew Redman

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST

TI's website describes many indoor applications of the AWRxxxx/IWRxxxx family of products, however I don't see much information on creating a configuration which will work well indoors. I am currently testing an AWR1443BOOST module using the mmWave Demo Visualizer tool. I am not having much success identifying objects indoors. What changes to configuration can I make to decrease the amount of noise I am seeing?

Hello Andrew,

Detection of objects is based on a number of factors such as chirp configuration, CFAR module setting and Electro magnetic reflections from objects.

Steps on configuring the chirp for detection can be found at :

Programming Chirp Parameters in TI Radar Devices

SDK user's guide shows how to configure these settings using the CFG file sent to the device.

Please see the below post showing how the demo was tuned in steps to see objects detected on visualizer:

Examples of chrip configruations and experiments performed with OOB demo on EVM can be found here:

Please share screenshots of visualizer GUI if you continue to see issues.

Thank you,
