Drone detection

Hello,

All Ti' mmwave devices are completely programmable  when it comes to chirp. This decides the sensing capabilities of the configuration. Based on the type, size of the drone please estimate the sensing needs for detection - like max speed, distance, RCS value of the drone.

Depending on the regulation needs either a 77Ghz IWR1843 or 60Ghz IWR6843 may be a good EVM to try out detection and data collection.

We highly recommend you go through the following:

mmwave training series to understand  the basics of detection: training.ti.com/mmwave-training-series

See how objects at different distances are detected by various chirp settings: mmWave Radar Sensors: Object Versus Range

Check some of the experiments done with mmWave devices: dev.ti.com/.../node

Configure chirp for required device  using:   Programming Chirp Parameters in TI Radar Devices (Rev. )

Hope this helps you get started.

Thank you,
