The data capture module is of a DCA1000EVM model, is connected with the millimeter wave radar through a data connecting line and is used for transmitting data. The signal transmitting antenna is provided with one antenna, noted as TX1, and the signal receiving antenna is provided with four antennas, noted as RX1, RX2, RX3 and RX 4.

And step S4, the millimeter wave radar carries out frequency conversion processing on the orthogonal signal and acquires an intermediate frequency suppression signal.
It should be noted that the millimeter wave radar further includes a mixer, and the quadrature signal enters the mixer to be mixed to obtain an intermediate frequency suppression (IF) signal, which is composed of a real part and an imaginary part.
And step S5, the data capture module performs merging processing on the if suppression signals to obtain merged data.
Further, the data capturing module performs merging processing on the if suppression signals to obtain merged data, including:
the data capture module reads a binary file of the intermediate frequency suppression signal and combines data in the binary file into decimal data.
And the data capturing module is used for combining the real part and the imaginary part of the decimal data to obtain combined data.
It should be noted that the mixed if suppression signals are combined to obtain useful information, and the mixed if suppression signals include all information of the transmission signal and the reflection signal. The if suppression signal can be read from the radar through the data capture module and stored as a binary file (. bin file), the if suppression signal is a 4 × N matrix, the number of rows corresponds to the serial number of the signal receiving antenna, i.e. rows 1,2, 3, 4 represent the data received by RX1, RX2, RX3, RX4, respectively; n depends on the frame number of the transmitted signal, the present technical solution transmits 8 frames of signals, each frame of signals has 128 chirps, one chirp has 256 ADC sample points, each sample point is divided into a real part and an imaginary part, the real part is stored before the imaginary part, and it is known that N is 8 × 128 × 256 × 2 is 524288.
