Hi Infineon Community,

I've been trying to detect the target from raw data by my own code from POSITION2GO.
However, I'm facing some confusions for conducting FFT on the raw data.
I need some assistance or advice on following problems to make sure that my code working well.
1. Is the raw data a de-chirp signal?
2. What is the sampling frequency for raw data?
3. Does the sampling frequency for raw data change based on the number of samples per chirp which is a controllable parameter?
if so, isn't it insufficient to represent the whole signal regarding maximum range or bandwidth? This question is intended to determine the frequency resolution for analyzing FFT result.
I would appreciate any other advice on writing the code for target detection.

Thank you

Hello Dory,

Please find below answers to your questions:

1. Is the raw data a de-chirp signal?
Yes, it’s a down mix signal.

2. What is the sampling frequency for raw data?
Sampling frequency for FMCW (units in Hz) is set via the following define (refer to config.h) :
#define FMCW_SAMPLING_FREQ_HZ ****(100000000/ ((CHIRP_TIME_USEC *100) / SAMPLES_PER_CHIRP))
You can also refer to the radar_get_sampling_freq() under radar_api.h file to get the ADC Sampling frequency in Hz.

3. Does the sampling frequency for raw data change based on the number of samples per chirp which is a controllable parameter?
Yes, FMCW_SAMPLING_FREQ_HZ depends on the SAMPLES_PER_CHIRP.

Hope that helps and clarifies things...

Cheers,
Montassar.

Hi,

I was wondering how do I know how many frames are there in 1 second? I am using the Matlab Interface and the data are understandably as a function of frames. How can i interpret the data as a function of time (seconds) instead? My configs are as follow: 32 Chirps Per Frame, 64 Samples Per Chirp, 150ms Frame Interval. Does this mean that in 1 second there are (1/150ms = 6.666) frames?
