Reference Designs

This reference design demonstrates the use of the AWR6843 60GHz single-chip mmWave sensor with integrated DSP: as a Vehicle Occupant Detection (VOD) and Child Presence Detection (CPD) Sensor enabling the detection of life forms in a vehicle. This design provides a reference software processing chain which runs on the C674x DSP: enabling the generation of a heat map to detect occupants in a Field of View (FOV) of ±60 degrees. Watch Vehicle Occupant Detection using mmWave Sensors Video.Additional informationReference software processing chain to detect the occupants inside a car using radar.
