AWR1642BOOST: Practical scenario performance of AWR1642

Naveen kanta

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Respected,

Here is the scenario unlike the area which is shown in TI demo videos where in this scenario radar is placed in open area with trees and making sure trees are coming into radar azimuth coverage.In below i have mentioned the observations of the Scenario.

At practical conditions (area with trees ) the RADAR (AWR1642boost) is detecting the signal which is resultant from trees even when i removed static clutter and it is very obvious that due to wind the tree branches are moving to and fro . For this particular case I tried to Just CFAR threshold in Doppler wise by this setting I also avoiding the human detection which is undesired.

The RADAR is able to detect Human at Max 30 m - 35 m with optimal setting(CFAR adjustment in range and doppler) in GUI and beyond these setting the RADAR is producing more false alarm.

Q1: Can you please tell the optimal setting so that i can able to detect human by avoiding signals from clutter like trees etc..

Q2: And Please tell me the configuration or setting so that i can detect human beyond 30 m .

Please give me the explanation for the above scenario and guide me through and do reply as soon as possible .

Note:

I am using AWR1642boost with mmwave demo visualizer .

Hi Naveen,

I suggest you to check SRR demo which has more advanced feature compare to mmw demo.

Refer this application document, video and source code for more info.

And you can visit other lab application even in Industrial Toolbox for relavent application.

Dear,

If i use the above mentioned demo will it able to detect humans and objects at 80 m?

It will detect the vehicles and other high reflective object at that distance. Detecting any object depends on the RCS of the object. But still based on your algo you can find out movement at that distance. At that distance you will have more clutter due to surroundings which may suppress that low RCS object.

Please refer other lab examples at TI resource explorer which will best fit with your usecase.

Jitendra
