Zone occupancy detection using mmWave sensor reference design

Description

This reference design demonstrates how TI mmWave sensor technology can be used for zone occupancy detection to monitor areas of interest across a field of view (FOV) of ±60 degrees with a maximum range of at least 10 m. This reference design uses the IWR1443BOOST evaluation module (EVM) and integrates a complete radar processing chain onto the IWR1443 device. The processing chain includes the analog radar configuration: analog to-digital converter (ADC) capture: low-level fast Fourier transform (FFT): and signal processing.

Features
  • Demonstrates environmentally robust zone occupancy detection using single-chip mmWave sensorDetects intrusion of object or person into area of interest with FOV up to 120 degrees and range of 0 m to 10 mReferences provided processing chain source code based on mmWave Software Development Kit (MMWAVE-SDK)
Applications
  • Traffic monitoring camera
  • Safety area scanner
  • Safety light curtain
