How to detect metal in front of radar with specific bumper over 30m?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843

Hi! All!

 

For receiving the raw data from dca1000evm + Awr1642Boost, we can successfully solve the range fft, doppler fft , CFAR, Peak grouping and the angle fft. Thanks for TI’s helps. The distance and the angle of an object are almost at the same place in the chamber and the open space. However, when we add a bumper (with thickness of about 0.5cm) in front of the radar, the radar can not detect the object very well at an open space. The distance is 30m. We’d tried new board awr1843 but the same problem still exists. We can not see the object more than 30m with the bumper.

 

Is there any help? I'm very appreciate for your help! Thank you!

Best regard,

Webb
