1 Evaluation Module Overview

1.1 Introduction

The xWRL1432 mmWave Sensor device is an integrated single chip mmWave sensor based on FMCW

radar technology. The device is capable of operation in the 76-GHz to 81-GHz band. The xWRL1432 is

designed for low power, self-monitored, ultra-accurate radar systems in the Automotive and Industrial space

of applications. The xWRL1432BOOST EVM enables access to point-cloud data and power over USB interface.

The xWRL1432BOOST supports direct connectivity to the DCA1000EVM development kit. This kit is supported

by mmWave tools, demos and software including mmWave software development kit (MMWAVE-L-SDK) and

TI's Code Composer Studio. Additional boards can be used to enable additional functionality. For example,

DCA1000EVM enables access to the raw ADC data capture of a sensor. On board XDS110 enables software

development through TI’s CCS. xWRL1432BOOST can interface with the MCU LaunchPad™ development kit

ecosystem.

2.1.1.1 Transmitter and Receiver Virtual Array

Transmitter and receiver antennas positions in Figure 2-6 form a virtual array of six transmitter and receiver

pairs. This allows object detections finer azimuthal angular resolution (29°) and coarse elevation angular

resolution (58°). Receiver antennas are spaced at distance D (Lambda/2) and Transmitter antenna Tx1 and

Tx2 spaced at 2D (lambda) in azimuthal plane and D (Lambda/2) in elevation plane. Tx1 and Tx2 are placed at

D (lambda/2) in the elevation and 2D (Lambda) in azimuth plane.

Figure 2-6. Virtual Antenna Array

Figure 2-6 shows the antenna radiation pattern with regard to azimuth and Figure 2-7 shows the antenna

radiation pattern with regard to elevation for TX1 and TX2. Both figures show the radiation pattern for TX1

and TX2 and RX1, RX2 and RX3 together. All of the measurements were done with a Tx and Rx combination

together. Thus, for the -6dB beam width, the user must see a -12db (Tx (-6dB) + Rx(-6dB)) number from the

boresight.

Note

Wavelength (Lambda) is computed based on a frequency of 78.5 GHz. Antenna placements are

according to this frequency.

must be maintained between the user and the EVM during operation.
