Description

The TIDEP-01010 leverages TI’s single-chip millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology to implement an area scanner capable of detection and localization in 3D space. Crucial to applications deployed in industrial facilities, mmWave sensing technology is inherently robust to heat, water, dust, and poor lighting conditions.

This reference design uses the IWR6843 mmWave sensor and integrates a complete radar processing chain onto the device. The processing chain includes the analog radar configuration, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capture, low-level FFT, and signal processing. This reference design is intended to be built on top of the TI mmWave SDK for a cohesive software experience, including APIs, libraries, and tools for evaluation, development, and data visualization. The reference design can be evaluated using either the IWR6843ISK or IWR6843AOPEVM evaluation modules. The IWR6843 antenna-on-package variant of mmWave sensors enables reduced design and manufacturing costs, simplified system design, smaller sensor footprint, and eventually faster time to market.
