3.1 IWRL6432FSP EVM in TIDA-010254 Reference Design

The IWRL6432FSP EVM is designed to be compatible with TI's TIDA-010254 reference design, an industrial reference design that demonstrates the use of a battery powered IWRL6432 60GHz mmWave radar with a sub-1 GHz or Bluetooth® 5.2 wireless communication. This system design contains two modules: a radar module and the wireless radio communication module. These two modules are designated as the IWRL6432FSP EVM for the radar module, and Base Board for the wireless communication module.

This design has been demonstrated with people-counting and tracking, and motion tracking applications from a Li-battery that send out the result to a remote host by sub-1 GHz or Bluetooth, while also compatible with any existing IWRL6432 software. This reference design uses a LAUNCHXLCC1352R1 wireless microcontroller LaunchPad™ with a PC GUI to visually show radar sensing data and detecting results.
