xwr: Linux-Compatible Real-Time Raw Data Capture for TI mmWave Radars

xwr is a pure-python, linux-based real time raw data capture system for TI mmWave radars, and includes four key components:

• xwr: a high-level data capture interface
• xwr.rsp: a radar signal processing library with Numpy, Pytorch, and Jax support
• xwr.radar: a parameterized python interface for the default radar firmware
• xwr.capture: a pure-python, real-time interface for the DCA1000EVM

See our documentation site for more details, setup guides, the included demo, and more!

Requirements

xwr assumes a linux-based system and radar hardware which consists of the DCA1000EVM and a supported TI mmWave Radar (XWR) development board.

[!IMPORTANT] Supported Devices:

• AWR1843 Family: AWR1843Boost, AWR1843AOPEVM
• AWR1642Boost
• AWR2944EVM
• AWRL6844EVM

Install

The xwr library can be installed from pypi or github:

pip install xwr
# or
pip install git+ssh://github.com/RadarML/xwr.git

[!WARNING] xwr does not include a copy of torch or jax by default! You must specify your own dependency and/or use the xwr[torch] and xwr[jax] extras if you intend to use these backends for the radar signal processing (xwr.rsp) submodule.
