IWR1443: velocity calculation confirmation

Part Number: IWR1443

Hi,

I was confirming the maximum velocity and velocity resolution values that the oob demo gui reports.  I am confused for the values reported for the 4rx/2tx and 4rx/1tx cases.  The expressions I believe for these values are

Maximum velocity = wl/4/t_c

Velocity resolution = wl/2/t_f

where

wl is the wavelength ~.3/77 = .003896 meters

t_c chirp cycle time .973 ms

t_f chirp frame time t_c*32 for the 4rx/2tx case and t_c*16 for the 4rx/2tx case

configuration parameters for the two cases are

4rx/2tx

channelCfg 15 5 0
profileCfg 0 77 429 7 57.14 0 0 70 1 240 4884 0 0 30
chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
chirpCfg 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 4
frameCfg 0 1 16 0 100 1 0

4rx/1tx

channelCfg 15 1 0
profileCfg 0 77 429 7 57.14 0 0 70 1 240 4884 0 0 30
chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
frameCfg 0 0 16 0 100 1 0

Using this information, I get

                                               4rx/2tx                   4rx/1tx

Maximum velocity (m/s)        1                              1

Velocity resolution (m/s)   .0625                       .125

Chirps per frame                    32                            16  (obtained from dataPathObj->numChirpsPerFrame)

The gui provides the values in the attached images.

Can you please explain the discrepancy?  Thank you.
