Description

The cascade development kit has two main use cases:To use the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM as a capture card to fully evaluate the AWR2243 four-chip cascade performance by using the mmWave studio tool: please read the TIDEP-01012 design guide.To use the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM to develop radar real time SW application: please read the TIDEP-01017 design guide.This reference design uses a cascaded imaging radar radio-frequency (RF) system. Cascaded radar devices can support long-range radar (LRR) beamforming applications: as well as medium-range radar (MRR) and short-range radar (SRR) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) applications with enhanced angle-resolution performance.The AWR2243 cascade radar RF development kit has been used to estimate and track the position (in the azimuthal plane) beyond 350 m with a multidevice: beamforming configuration. Additionally: this system has demonstrated azimuth angular resolutions as small as 1.4 degrees in a time-division multiple access (TDMA)-MIMO configuration.
