Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843, IWR1642
I am looking for a radar unit I can use to look 50 meters downwards at the ground. I need to be able to see the topology of the terrain, Flat level / slope angle and how uneven the terrain is. Can you suggest a Radar unit that would be good for this task?
I have looked at IWR1642BOOST and found it very good at up to 6 meters but I found that when it is in long range mode it does not have much resolution/accuracy. At 50 meters I found that its detection is not very convincing for this task. The unit has lots of options to improve range and optimise for range but I am not getting a good detection of reasonable static items at 50 meters.
At shorter ranges (up to 6 meters) the IWR1642BOOST is very impressive.
Please can you let me know if you have got the IWR1642BOOST to work well at 50 meters?
Please can you suggest a better unit to use for range of 50 Meters looking at the ground from above? For my task the radar unit will be on a hovering platform so quite still but not fully static. The ground below will be static with the exception of wind through the grass.
Hope you can assist.
