Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, TIDEP-0092
Hi:
I have some questions about awr1642 EVM board and some questions about the algorithm of reference design code (TIDEP-0092),
as below:
1. I have found the antenna pattern angle vs. gain figure plot in reference document, but do not find the gain vs. frequency response plot, Is there any available document ?
2. In reference design code USRR mode, it implemented virtual array in time domain, so the equivalent element number of receive antenna is 8, so the estimation of DoA size is 8 or using 4、4 (independent estimation twice then joint considering)
3. In clustering phase, does the process data (input of clustering) has arranged from small to larger in velocity domain? I have studied the reference code and I think it has different result with the arrangement of velocity.
4.In tracking phase, we need to estimate the covariance of the measurement and the reference code use to CRLB to estimate the var of the parameters, but I still do not understand how to estimate the noise in range、angle、velocity domain?
5. There are two mode in reference code (USRR/SRR) and can close or open optionally in matlab GUI interface, if I close the USRR mode, What is this mean? It will fill the gap with SRR chirp or just empty ?
6. Does the reference design do the peak grouping after CFAR? If yes, how its work? Does it find the local max in 3*3 (in 2D -FFT detection block)?
7. Is the CFAR input define as the is 2*log2(abs(fft))?
8. When using chinese remainder theory to extend the max velocity, how to pair the result for fast chirp and slow chirp ? with power similarity or position similarity? If slow chirp detection result has 4 objects and fast chirp has 3 objects, the result of the output is 3 or 4?
Thanks for answering!
Best regards,
