AWR1443BOOST: Field of view of AWR1443BOOST

user6455950

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST

Hello,

I would like to know the field of view of the AWR1443BOOST in azimuth and elevation (4RX and 3TX antenna).
I understand the angular resolution depends on the antenna configuration, but I can't found the information about the FOV of the sensor.

Thank you.

Thank you, I already saw this thread. I found that interesting because according to my tests, it looks like the azimuth range is way bigger than 30°...

And for the elevation, it looks like I cannot detect objects who are under the sensor horizontal axis.
Normally, the sensor should be configured for 4RX and 3TX antennas...

Hello,

Field of view can vary based on the device configuration, so different application may have different view.

Here are few lab application which you refer-

I asked a similar question here. The profile configuration doesn't matter for the FOV since the radar performs chirps on every TX antenna separately to created the 3D profile. Therefore, in the documentation, the radar intensity plot they provide is for 1TX and the FOV only changes based on bandwidth.

Hope this helps.
