IWR6843: vital signs output

Part Number: IWR6843

I am looking into the lab demo provided for Vital sign detection available here. On the Output Packet structure are "Vital Signs Output Stat" and "Range Profile (complex)".

Specifically, what are the full details of the fields in the "Vital Signs Output Stat" that is available as "vitalSignsDemo_OutputStats" struct in my MATLAB workspace? It is not very clear to me what each sub-field mean and how they relate to the data available in "Range Profile" or that displayed on my GUI/Visualiser during data acquisition.

Also, I specifically checked "vitalSignsDemo_OutputStats.outPhase" and was expecting that the phase information available here will match any of the phase information (index(es)) I can extract from the "Range Profile (complex)" as available in my MATLAB workspace. But this is not so. Can more details of how "Vital Signs Output Stat" relate to "Range Profile (complex)"  be given please?



On a related case, I am using two IWR6843 EVMs- the AOP and ISK-ODS types. On the Visualiser, the AOP keeps reporting HR values even when it detects BR values to be zero, while the ISK-ODS reported zeros for both BR and HR. Why could this be so?

Is the ODS more suitable than the AOP? Did I break the AOP or I'm experiencing a case of static discharge?
