CCS/IWR6843: HAVC Tuning Question

Part Number: IWR6843

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear TI

                 We have scan SNR value of  HAVC lab with our in-house design module with 6843 as below.

                 1 Our question why have this SNR result ? What is the root cause ? Antenna design or DOA setting issue ?

                 2 DOA parameter how to setting ? We can not find any user guide for tuning .

                 3. SNR how to improve ?

                 4. It's a big issue at people counting have different region SNR . Any suggestion ?

        doaCfg.estAngleRange       = (float) atoi (argv[1]) * 0.1f;

       doaCfg.estAngleResolution     = (float) atoi (argv[2]) * 0.001f;

       doaCfg.gamma           = (float) atoi (argv[3]) * 0.001f;

       doaCfg.clutterRemovalFlag = (uint8_t) atoi (argv[4]);

       doaCfg.dopplerOversampleFactor = (uint8_t) atoi (argv[5]);

       doaCfg.useCFAR4DopDet = (uint8_t) atoi (argv[6]);

       doaCfg.dopCfarThr = (float) atoi (argv[7]) * 0.1f;

       doaCfg.dopCfarGuardLen = (uint8_t) atoi (argv[8]);

       doaCfg.scaleDopCfarOutCFAR = (uint8_t) atoi (argv[9]);

  • Hi Toyota,

    I want to confirm that the issue you are seeing is different SNR at different locations in the scene. This can be caused by more than the signal chain. In a reflective environment, or an environment with many people, or other situations, you will have higher noise, which will result in a lower SNR.

    The doaCfg effects the Angle of Arrival function, and has a high memory impact when it is changed, so I don't recommend changing it at this time. Its parameters are specific to the antenna design.

  • Dear Justin 

    We are testing at  outdoor . it no noise issue  . We observe SNR impact this  people counting tuning  it's key issue for this application. (Very Very Hard to tuning at different environment )

    EVB  have average  SNR map  but can't meet customer spec now. , if SNR map  is caused by antenna design this source code  architecture will need adding calibration part for it 

    we will try fully testing with freq and record total SNR map with people field test. .

  • Hi Toyota,

    I apologize for the late reply. Can you send me a picture of the antenna you are using?

    Regards,
