Cascade Imaging Radar Capture Reference Design Using Jacinto™ ADAS
Processor
1 System Description
Autonomous control of a vehicle provides quality-of-life and safety benefits in addition to making the
relatively mundane act of driving safer and less difficult. The quality-of-life features include the ability of a
vehicle to park itself, or to determine whether a lane change is possible, and provide features like
automatic cruise control—where a vehicle maintains a constant distance with respect to the car ahead of
it, essentially, tracking the velocity of the car in front of it. Autonomous braking and collision avoidance are
safety features that prevent accidents caused by driver inattention. These features work by observing the
area in front of a car and alerting the ADAS subsystems if obstacles are observed that are likely to hit the
car. Implementing these technologies requires a variety of sensors to detect obstacles in the environment
and track their velocities and positions over time.
1.1 Key System Specifications
This reference design has two sets of specifications because the radar is used as a multi-mode radar.
MIMO is the first specification. TX beamforming (TXBF) is the second specification,

1.2 Why Cascade Radar?
Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radars allow the accurate measurement of range and
relative velocity of obstacles and other vehicles; therefore, radars are useful for autonomous vehicular
applications (such as parking assist and lane change assist) and car safety applications (autonomous
breaking and collision avoidance). An important advantage of radars over camera and light-detection-and-
ranging (LIDAR)-based systems is that radars are relatively immune to environmental conditions (such as
the effects of rain, dust, and smoke). FMCW radars can work in complete darkness and also bright
daylight (radars are not affected by glare) because they transmit and receive electromagnetic waves.
When compared with ultrasound, radars typically have a much longer range and much faster time of
transit for their signals.
Despite the many advantages of radar technology, in many cases, automotive manufacturers today still
use camera sensors as the primary sensor technology used to make final safety decisions in the system.
The radar sensor is being used as the secondary sensor; meaning, the vehicle system receives the Radar
warning, but decides to take an action only upon the camera sensor verification. The main reason is
limitation in radar angular resolution. The radar sensors deployed today in most vehicles lack the ability to
distinguish between static objects with the same range and same relative velocity.
Today, a typical front radar sensor has about a 5-degree angular resolution that corresponds to the ability
of the sensor to distinguish between objects that are 8.5 m apart at 100 m. Objects that are closer than
8.5 m appear as one object. For example, a vehicle stopped in the right lane, might look like a shoulder
road street lamp for example, and therefore would be ignored by the safety system.
This is about to change with the introduction of the Imaging Radar solution from Texas Instruments (TI).
The TI Imaging Radar is a four-chip cascade solution, that acts like a single-chip sensor but achieves
20Log10(N
TX
) SNR gain in TX beamforming mode and 360/(N*pi) angular resolution (N is the number of
virtual antennas in a MIMO configuration).
The TI Imaging Radar solution, we can distinguish between static objects 0.6 degrees apart with all
antennae placed in single dimension linearly, and reach a 350-m object detecting range(angular resolution
is dependent on the antenna configuration and the number of TX/RX antennae).
This performance enables TI Imaging Radar to become the primary sensor in the vehicle and enhance
safety across weather and visibility conditions by providing a high-resolution image for both static and
moving objects.

1.3 TI Cascade Radar Design
The TIDEP-01017 provides an easy-to-use, detailed reference design of a base platform, based on the
TDA2x, supporting multiple automotive radar front end and antenna sub-systems. This reference design
can be used as a starting point to design a standalone sensor for a variety of LRR and imaging radar
applications.
The base platform, or host board, works with the TI Cascade RF reference design, or RF board based on
the AWR1243P device.
The flexible chirp and frame timing engine available on the AWR1243P device (similar to other AWR
family mmWave sensors) allows the system to function as a multi-mode radar, interleaving beamforming
and MIMO configurations on a per-chirp basis. This enables the sensor designer to achieve best range
and best angular resolution across the array of Cascaded AWR1243P devices as the scene dynamics
requires.
A beamforming antenna across multiple, cascaded, AWR1243P devices provides sensor designers with
higher-output power and therefore, lower detectable target RCS or increased range detection, or both.
Applications requiring detection of automobile, motorcycle, pedestrian, signage, bridges, and other road-
way objects and barriers at or beyond a 350-m range can make use of this mode of operation.
In medium-range applications (150-m ranges), creating MIMO antenna arrays across multiple, cascaded,
AWR1243P devices allows the sensor designer to maximize the number of active antennas enabling
substantially improved angular resolution. This enables sub-1 degree resolution: true imaging radar
capability.

2.2 Design Considerations
2.2.1 Cascade Radar Host Board based on TDA2x Application Processor
This cascade radar host board reference design supports the TDA2x application processor. TI designed
the TDA2x System-on-Chip (SoC) as a highly-optimized and scalable family of devices to meet the
requirements of leading Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The TDA2x family enables broad
ADAS applications in automobiles by integrating an optimal mix of performance, low power and ADAS
vision analytics processing that aims to facilitate a more autonomous and collision-free driving experience.
The TDA2x SoC enables sophisticated embedded vision technology in automobiles by broadest range of
ADAS applications including front camera, park assist, surround view and sensor fusion on a single
architecture
The TDA2x SoC incorporates a heterogeneous, scalable architecture that includes a mix of TI’s fixed and
floating-point TMS320C66x digital signal processor (DSP) cores, Vision AccelerationPac, Arm
®
Cortex
®
-
A15 MPCore™ and dual Cortex-M4 processors. The integration of a video accelerator for decoding
multiple video streams over an Ethernet AVB network, along with graphics accelerators for rendering
virtual views, enable a 3D viewing experience. In addition, the TDA2x SoC also integrates a host of
peripherals including multi-camera interfaces (both parallel and serial) for LVDS-based surround view
systems, displays, CAN and GigB Ethernet AVB.
The Vision AccelerationPac for this family of products includes multiple embedded vision engines (EVEs)
offloading the perception analytics functionality from the application processor while also reducing the
power footprint. The Vision AccelerationPac is optimized for perception processing with a 32-bit RISC core
for efficient program execution and a vector coprocessor for specialized perception processing.
Additionally, TI provides a complete set of development tools for the Arm, DSP, and EVE coprocessor,
including C compilers, a DSP assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a
debugging interface for visibility into source code execution.
The TDA2x ADAS processor is qualified according to the AEC-Q100 standard.
2.2.2 Cascade Radar RF Board Based on AWR1243P Sensor
The Cascade Radar RF board is built around the AWR1243P device. The AWR1243P is an integrated
single-chip, frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) sensor capable of operation in the 76 to 81
GHz frequency band. Built with TI’s low-power, 45-nm RFCMOS processor and enabling unprecedented
levels of analog and digital integration, the AWR1243P achieves an extremely small form factor. The
device has four receivers and three transmitters with a closed-loop phase-locked loop (PLL) for precise
and linear chirp synthesis.
Each transmitter includes a programmable 6-bit phase shifter (5.625 degree step) to enable beamforming
applications. Each device also includes two 20-GHz local oscillator (LO) output and two 20-GHz LO input
paths for sharing the VCO output with neighboring devices. This enables a cost-effective, totally passive,
cascaded radar architecture.
The sensor includes a built-in self test (BIST) for RF calibration and safety monitoring. Based on complex
baseband architecture, the sensor device supports an IF bandwidth of 15 MHz with reconfigurable output
sampling rates in both complex and real sampling modes. Two separate ARM Cortex R4F based
processors run the TI provided the radar front-end, calibration, and host processor interface firmware
targeting ASIL-B compliance.
