Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM,
Hello,
For my research, I need an approximate receive power for objects detected to allow for a backscatter coefficient calculation. I found a forum post here that describes decoupling the gain values from the received peakVal to get an approx. value. I would like some more information regarding this.
I am able to extract out the rxGain value from the profile_cfg. However, I'm having more trouble with the other:
1. fft-processing gains (range, dopper, angle) -> Do I just divide by the (number of samples, number of chirps, number of antennas)?
2. DFE gain -> Can't find a specific value for this, or how to get the specific value used during processing.
The sentence was also appended with "etc", so I assume there are more that need to be de-coupled to extract out the correct value (LNA)?
Overall, I would like help trying to convert PeakVal to approximate receive power.
Thanks,
Austin
