AWR1642: How to convert rangeIdx and dopplerIdx to m and m/s

Part Number: AWR1642

I have extracted  rangeIdx and dopplerIdx from the packet,but I don't know how to convert these to  m and m/s .Are there some equals and documents that can tell me how to convert?

  • Hi,

    Please refer to the following post for this information.

  • Hi,

    I have  seen what you post,but I don't understand what the C and K refer to ?Can you explain it to me?

  • Hi,

    The formula with C and K is from the capture_demo.m script in the MMWAVE SDK.

    C is the speed of light and K is the number of ADC samples per chirp.

  • Because of repeated queries on the question you have raised here, we have decided to document this in the doxygen documentation of the next release in the section "Output information sent to host" (which contains all documentation about TLV formats of UART stream), but a preview below in the meantime will hopefully make it a little easier for you (and others), formulas use information from CLI configurations:

    You can also inspect the source code of the visualizer which gives the same information as above because visualizer displays in m and m/s. To see visualizer source code, follow instructions at  

    A snapshot of the area of code that is related to his query is shown below (range index is multiplied with rangeIdxToMeters and doppler index is multiplied with dopplerResolutionMps):
