CCS/AWR1642: Profile, Chirp, Frame configuration

Hello Kevin,

The profile, chirp and the frame configurations are APIs/Commands to configure the Radar front end .

Profile: Profile config API sets the FMCW radar chirp properties like FMCW slope, chirp duration, TX power etc. The API allows multiple profiles to be set together by passing the array of profile data along with count of profiles

Chirp: Chirp config API sets the chirp to chirp variations on top of the chirp profile defined in ProfileConfig . This function indicates the profile to be used by each chirp in frame in addition to fine tuning parameters to the FMCW start frequency and idle time for each chirp

Frame : Frame config API defines the frame properties like the sequence of chirps to be transmitted, number of frames to be transmitted, periodicity of the frame and the trigger method

I recommend you to look at the Radar Interface control document that is available in the MMWAVE-DFP ($mmwave-dfp-install\docs\AWR1xx_Radar_Interface_Control.pdf).

Refer to the profile, chirp and frame configuration APIs and commands in this document for better understanding.

Thanks,
