AWR1443BOOST: The usage of measuring person's height with IWR1443

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443

Hello,

Could you tell me the feasibility of measuring person's height with IWR1443?
For example, the following situation are expected.
- The person is standing.
- The sensor of IWR1443 is set over the person.
- High Accuracy measurement is used.
- The person's height is calculated by sensor's height - measured length.

  • Hi Nomo,

    There can be multiple ways to implement this use-case.

    1) As per your assumption when sensor's height is same as person's height, then the sensor can detect the ground reflection and find the height. Ignore body reflection which may be lower compared to ground reflection.

    2) Put the sensor at the ceiling (a little above than person's head). In this case, sensor sees two reflections, first (nearer person's head) and farthest (ground reflection). The difference between these two will give you person height.

    Although you need to do the experiment for these two scenes to find the feasibility of setup.

  • Hello Jitendra-san,

    Thank you for you reply.
    I'll do the experiment for these to find the feasibility of setup.
