AWR1642BOOST: How to compute absolute RCS?

Jose Castanheira

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

I searched in the forum for answers on how to compute RCS. Despite this not being a new question, the answers provided were not conclusive and do not explain at all how can one calculate the RCS. As far as I understand, it is possible to calculate the relative RCS using the peakVal retrieved from one of the TLVs, but what I am really interested in is how to calculate the absolute RCS. I am using Demo Visualizer.

Hi,

As you have mentioned this issue has been discussed in other threads.

We don't really have additional information

Thank you
Cesar

There is a way to get the RCS using PeakVal in the Vital Sine Demo GUI and dss. Have you checked it out?

Could you elaborate on this? I already checked the source code and indeed there are calculations based on the RCS, but it is not so explicit how the RCS is calculated.

Greetings,
According to what I have read in some other questions, no one has managed to calculate an absolute (and independent on the situation) with the data supplied by the mmwave sensor boards as there are, not only some digital processing during the flow as well as RF adjustment.
