Labs & Projects

Radar Platform

The labs and projects will be principally based on the TI AWR1843AOPEVM mmWave radar evaluation module and the RadarML / xwr software stack.

Students will receive a lab kit with the following:

• Radar & capture card assembly, with the TI AWR1843AOPEVM and DCA1000EVM within a 3D-printed enclosure
• 5v power supply for the capture card
• Micro USB cable and ethernet cable

Course Project

In groups of up to 4, students will complete an open-ended project applying machine learning techniques to the AWR1843AOP radar platform or another RF system of their choice. The project must have the following elements:

• A machine learning component (i.e., a data-driven algorithm) must be used to perform some task; training and fine-tuning is encouraged, but not required.
• The project must involve the team working with a real RF system, either for data collection and/or deployment. In other words, projects must either collect some data, demonstrate their model running on a real system, or ideally, both!
