AWR1642BOOST: Is there a way to set a Minimum Detectable Velocity (MDV) that the radar detects?

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Greetings,

I would like to know if there is a way to set a Minimum Detectable Velocity MDV for the AWR1642BOOST. It look as though there is no such settings within the .cfg file (as explained further in the mmwave sdk user guide pdf. Is there another way to add such an implementation? I am looking to eliminate detections moving less than 0.1 meters/second for the radar.

Thanks!

Jason

  • Hi Jason,

    min. detectable velocity depends on min. velocity resolution of the device.

    Please refer this app-note: http://www.ti.com/lit/wp/spyy005/spyy005.pdf (page:6)

    velocity resolution is inversely proportional to frame time. in this case you need to reduce the frame idle time but that will effect the UART transmission.

    For experiment you can disable UART transmission and reduce the frame idle time and check how much min. velocity it can detect.
