AWR1843BOOST: Default Azimuthal Bin Number

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

Hello Support Team,

I am modifying this python code (see here https://github.com/ibaiGorordo/AWR1843-Read-Data-Python-MMWAVE-SDK-3-) to allow for the real time viewing of the Range Azimuth Heat Map, but I do not know the number of azimuth bins to use. According to this post (https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/sensors-forum/813923/iwr6843isk-range-azimuth-heat-map-how-to-parse-tlv-and-compute-data) num_angle_bins is related to the frame size when using Matlab.

NUM_ANGLE_BINS = size(Q,1);

But there is no equivalent when using python because the data is received as a byte stream which must then be reshaped into an array of [number of azimuth bins x number of range bins].

Is the number of azimuth bins the same as the number of virtual antennas (In my case 8)? I have also tried values of 64 and 256 as per here, https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/sensors-forum/829101/awr1642boost-could-i-change-the-number-of-angle-bins-for-azimuth-estimation, https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/sensors-forum/886726/awr1243-awr1243-range-azimuth-heat-map-problem, but these are too large.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
