Case Studies on Detection Using mmWave FMCW RADAR System

The content of this chapter provides a thoughtful analysis of case studies that highlight the detection capabilities of FMCW radar systems operating in mmWave configurations. The case studies demonstrate how mmWave FMCW radar technology may be used to detect objects, motions, and changes in both line of sight and non-line of sight settings with accuracy, and efficiency. Each case study explores the unique difficulties presented by the application environment, which can include anything from identifying impediments in automotive safety systems to detecting minute movements for vital sign monitoring in healthcare. The steps for detecting different gesture recognition using IWR 1843 BOOST FMCW radar system and its processing are focussed upon. The document highlights the technology's excellent resolution, motion sensitivity, and adaptability to a variety of challenging environments in LoS and NLoS scenarios and with the technical details of operating mmWave radars, including signal processing methods, machine learning algorithms, and mitigating interference from surrounding objects.
