CCS/AWR1843BOOST: How to add file search path in Build setting for AWR1843BOOST

CCS/AWR1843BOOST: Can I use AWR1843BOOST design for Obstacle Detection Purpose?

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642BOOST-ODS, , AWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The lab demo lab0004_obstacle_detection is designed base on AWR1642BOOST-ODS. 

But we are planing to use AWR1843BOOST for obstacle detection purpose. I would like to know:

1. Is AWR1843BOOST's Antenna Design ideal for obstacle detection purpose.

2. Is the configuration parameter used in lab0004_obstacle_detection ideal for AWR1843BOOST for obstacle detection purpose?

Thanks

    Hi,

    1. The AWR1843BOOST antenna was designed to provide best performance in azimuth. That's why in MIMO mode the antenna supports an 8 Rx virtual array. In elevation the antenna array is only 2Rx. So the angular resolution in elevation is only ~55deg. This is the reason why this is not the best antenna for obstacle detection.

    2. The lab0004 will not run correctly on AWR1843BOOST. The angle estimation will not be correct.

    Thank you

    Thanks.

    Is the elevation of AWR1843Boost -55 degree ~ +55 degree?

    For obstacle detection purpose, especially vehicle reversing radar, could you please tell me which evaluation board is the best?

    Can you please tell the performance of azimuth and elevation of AWR1642 Boost-ODS⁇

    Regards

    Hi,

    As I mentioned in your other thread for AWR1843BOOST please consider the lab0007 demo in USRR mode.

    For elevation FOV of the AWR1843BOOST antenna please view the EVM User Guide. It includes the Rx/Tx Gain plots.

    thank you
