IWR1443: Communicating radar

Part Number: IWR1443
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

Hello,
customer ask if a communicating radar would be possible with our ICs?
Further question, can a kind of localisation application be possible? Somelike the solutions from Decawave (https://www.decawave.com/)?

Regards, Holger

  • Hi Holger,

    Since TI mmWave sensors were designed to support FMCW Radar operation, they do not support communication over Radar.

    TI mmWave sensors do not use sensor to sensor communication for localization like the product you listed.  Instead, they support localization of objects in a scene by detecting them with FMCW Radar as demonstrated in the mmWave-SDK demo as well as various examples on the TI Resource Explorer like the 68xx - People Counting Demo.

    Regards,

    John
