AWR1642BOOST: Stationary object measurement

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

.  I have gone through  the Demo  Visualizer  manual and it is not clear  to me where are the zero (0) references for the   Azimuth and Range data in the scatter plot. I am assuming that the  reference   for the Range (Y axis) is the minimum of all distances to the object and the  azimuth  (X axis) is the mid point between TX and RX Antennas per the Figure wx  of  document Millimeter Wave (mmw) for XWR16xx . 

I am working in a static environment, meaning my objects stationary, but my set-up introduces clutter, is there a way I could eliminate this clutter though calibration. Presently the clutter calibration takes  the real stationary  object as clutter.

With regards to  elevation points in the scenery, for the AWR1642, how are these recorded; are they part of the  X and Y coordinates  or  just one axis for, example the range (Y) axis.

  • Lincoln,

    I would refer you to the Doxygen for both the xWR1642 mmWave Demo and the Angle of Arrival (AoA) DPU for detailed information on how the X,Y coordinates are calculated.

    Here are the links for the respective Doxygens
