AWR1642: Full 77GHz radar setup

John Hofmeister

Part Number: AWR1642
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642BOOST, IWR1642, MMWAVE-SDK

Hello, 

I would like to create a fully functioning radar setup using this 77GHz radar sensor for a college project. Can you recommend any of the additional components I would need to do this and track a moving object? In addition, at this frequency can the radar system detect movement through materials such as foam? Lastly, is the radar programable at all, and if so what software is necessary? 

Thanks.

    Hello John ,

    The AWR devices are recommended only for automotive application . For your application, IWR devices is more suited.

    To get started you can get order an IWR1642BOOST (EVM).

    In the IWR1642, R4F and DSP  are fully programmable.

    You can also download the MMWAVE-SDK that provides the drivers, demo examples and detailed documentation of all the modules for better understanding the system.

    There are a series of training videos for helping the beginners for the better understanding of the system here .

    Thanks,

    Raghu
