IWR1443: Evaluation options for measuring distance away from fluids

Dan Ringger
Intellectual 1790 points
Part Number: IWR1443
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , TIDEP-0091

Our application is measuring the distance away from a fluid in various sized containers.  The other is measuring the distance away from a 4" polycarbonate material inside a rubber container.  Is the mmwave_bndl the best option for evaluation?  How accurately can the IWR1443 measure distance and how fast as its update rate gets the reading?  Will certain materials give better results?  Thank you

    Hi Dan,

    The IWR1443BOOST is going to be your starting point for evaluation (no need for the bundle for your application). I'd recommend running the High Accuracy Lab available on the TI resource explorer, however it is worth noting that the sensor may have trouble detecting distances less than 3 cm (~1") away from the sensor.

    Another piece of collateral you might be interested is the TIDEP-0091 which interfaces the IWR1443BOOST with the MSP-EXP432P401R Launchpad for a low-power level sensing solution.
