AWR1843: the minimum detectable RCS

Part Number: AWR1843

Hi,

I am using AWR1843, and I want to do some experiments.

I need to know the minimum detectable RCS of this sensor.

I used the mmWave Demo Visualizer, but I did not find the minimum RCS parameter. 

Because I  need to use this parameter in my following experiments. Does anyone know it?

Assume that I  do not care the range resolution and other resolution parameters.

Thanks.

Best regards,

  • Hi Ishita,

    Thanks for your kindly reply.

    I just want to know the smallest target which the sensor can detect at the distance of 1 mile.

    That is to say, my target is placed at 1m at the front of the sensor. But  I need the target RCS the smaller the better.

    Best regards

  • Hello Guohong,

    The sensing estimator just gives examples of RCS for some basic objects like truck, car, bike, etc. If you want to find the configuration from sensing estimator for a custom object, you have to know the RCS first yourself. Then you can fill that in field highlighted below:
