IWR6843ISK: Field of View: Modification Az & El angles, Angle and Range Resolution details

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST,

Hello,

I'm using IWR6843ISK+MMWAVEICBOOST and I have few questions regarding Field of View (FoV) and Resolution.

  • The IWR6843ISK I use have a 108°azimuth FoV and 44° elevation FoV. Does those parameters can be reduced by the configuration file to match my use case ? Or are they given by antennas position/number and can't be modified?

When using mmWave Demo Visualizer I've seen in Plots>Real-Time Tunning, that we can modify those parameters but I don't understand in wich way they can affect my mmWave Sensor. Could you explain me please ?

Also, is the 4RX 3TX (15 deg +Elevation) the only Antenna Config that allow to get the full position (X,Y,Z) of my target in a 3D space ?

  • Regarding resolution, in 4RX 3TX (15 deg+Elevation) for example. What is the Elevation resolution please ?

Does this Azimuth Resolution of 15° means that two object in a cone of 15° will be seen as only one, and this non regarding the distance between them and the mmWave sensor ? If so, is there a way to improve this resolution (like reducing Azimuth and Elevation angles if it is possible) ?

I hope I've been clear enough in my questions, thanks in advance for your help !

Regards,

Quentin.
