Millimeter wave (mmWave) is a special class of radar technology that uses shortwavelength electromagnetic waves. Radar systems transmit electromagnetic wave signals that objects in their path then reflect. By capturing the reflected signal, a radar system can determine the range, velocity and angle of the objects. operating at 76–81 GHz (with a corresponding wavelength of about 4 mm

1. DCA1000EVM

The DCA1000 evaluation module (EVM) provides real-time data capture and streaming for two- and four-lane low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) traffic from TI AWR and IWR radar sensor EVMs. The data can be streamed out via 1-Gbps Ethernet in real time to a PC running the MMWAVE-STUDIO tool for capture, visualization, and then can be passed to an application of choice for data processing and algorithm development. The DCA1000EVM is a capture card for interfacing with Texas Instrument’s 77GHz xWR1xxx EVM that enables users to stream the ADC data over Ethernet. This design is based on Lattice FPGA LFE5UM85F-8BG381I with DDR3L.

  • Supports lab and mobile collection scenarios

  • Captures LVDS data from AWR/IWR radar sensors

  • Streams output in real time through 1-Gbps Ethernet

  • Controlled via onboard switches or GUI/library

1.1. LVDS over Ethernet streaming

  • Raw mode: all LVDS data is captured and streamed over ethernet;

  • Data separated mode: add specific headers to different data types; FPGA separates out different data types based on the header and streams it over ethernet interface;

  • The DCA1000EVM should be connected to TI"s xWR1xxx EVM through a 60-pin HD connector by using a 60-pin Samtec ribbon cable

  • The DCA1000EVM should be connected to a PC through a USB cable (J1-Radar FTDI) for configuring the xWR1xxx EVM if the mmWave Studio is used to configure the radar device. If an embedded application is used to configure the xWR1xxx EVM, then this is not required.

2.1. IWR1843

The IWR1843 is an ideal solution for low-power, self-monitored, ultra-accurate radar systems in industrial applications, such as, building automation, factory automation, drones, material handling, traffic monitoring, and surveillance. Contains a TI high-performance C674x DSP for the radar signal processing. The device includes an ARM R4F-based processor subsystem, which is responsible for front-end configuration, control, and calibration.

  • Transmit Subsystem:

    • three parallel transmit chains, each with independent phase and amplitude control;

  • Receive Subsystem:

    • A single receive channel consists of an LNA, mixer, IF filtering, A2D conversion, and decimation. All four receive channels can be operational at the same time an individual power-down option is also available for system optimization.

    • complex baseband architecture, which uses quadrature mixer and dual IF and ADC chains to provide complex I and Q outputs for each receiver channel.

4.1. Automotive mmWave radar sensors

1. Front Long range radar

achieve both superior angular and distance resolution at short ranges over a wide field of view while extending out to long distances. Relying on other optical sensors may be challenging in certain weather and visibility conditions. Smoke, fog, bad weather, and light and dark contrasts are challenging visibility conditions that can inhibit optical passive and active sensors such as cameras and LIDAR, which may potentially fail to identify a target. TI mmWave sensors, however, maintain robust performance despite challenging weather and visibility conditions.

2. Ultra short range radar

mmWave sensors for low-power, self-monitored, ultra-accurate radar systems in the automotive space.

3. Medium/short range radar

allow estimation and tracking of the position and velocity of objects and can be multi-mode for objects at a distance and close-by.

4. Driver vital sign monitoring

measuring driver vital signs, such as heart rate and breathing rate. This information could enable applications to detect the fatigue state or sleepiness state of a driver.

5. Obstacle detection sensor

detect obstacles when parking or opening doors.

6. Vehicle occupant detection

TI’s scalable 60GHz and 77GHz single-chip mmWave sensors enable robust detection of occupants (adults, children, pets) inside of a car for applications including child presence detection, seat belt reminder, and more.

5. Background

5.1. LVDS

LVDS（Low-Voltage Differential Signaling ,低电压差分信号）是美国国家半导体（National Semiconductor, NS，现TI）于1994年提出的一种信号传输模式的电平标准，它采用极低的电压摆幅高速差动传输数据，可以实现点对点或一点对多点的连接，具有低功耗、低误码率、低串扰和低辐射等优点，已经被广泛应用于串行高速数据通讯场合当，如高速背板、电缆和板到板数据传输与时钟分配，以及单个PCB内的通信链路。

差分信号有别于单端信号一根信号线传输信号然后参考GND作为高(H)、低（L）逻辑电平的参考并作为镜像流量路径的做法，差分传输在两根传输线上都传输信号，这两个信号的振幅相等，相位相差180度，极性相反，互为耦合。

  • 很容易地识别小信号;

  • 对外部电磁干扰(EMI)是高度免疫的;

  • 降低供电电压不仅减少了高密度集成电路的功率消耗，而且减少了芯片内部的散热，有助于提高集成度。LVDS减少供电电压和逻辑电压摆幅，降低了功耗。
