Adjusting FOV and maximum range of AWR1642EVM-ODS?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

According to the figure, AWR1642EVM-ODS has a max range of 10m and a FOV of 160 degrees. So is it possible to adjust its ma range and FOV?

  • All of the mmWave sensors come with the configurability for RF parameters where a user can play with different value using API and get required device performance. Like frequency bandwidth, Tx power, Rx Gain, chirp/frame duration/rate can be controlled by the application running on this device and further these parameters play a role to control range/FOV.
    Please install mmWave SDK and refer mmWave-SDK user guide to use the existing application and hands-on these parameters.

  • Okay thanks. But where can i get this API?
  • I prefer to follow the mmWave SDK and its user guide where default demo uses CLI commands to control these APIs.
    And internally application uses mmWaveLink library to implements these APIs and finally send these commands to RF processor (RadarSS) of the device.
    Here you can find the source and document for the same library-
    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_02_01_00_04\packages\ti\control\mmwavelink (\docs\doxygen\html\index.html)
