TINYRAD - Can the FMCW timing of the DemoRad be altered?

Question

Hi, Can the FMCW timing of the DemoRad be altered? 
 If not,what should I do to be able to configure the relevant timing parameters including chirp repetition interval and chirp duration? 
 Version: Demorad 1.2.0 
 regards, Tai J

Hi, DemoRad platform may not achieve that kind of resolution mainly because of the noise and bandwidth performance of ADC ( ADAR7251 ) However, there are applications with the EV-RADAR-MMIC2 platform with better ADC. EV-RADAR-MMIC2 is the radar evaluation board with ADF4159, ADF5901, and ADF5904 (the same components as the DemoRad platform without ADC and DSP). For example, you can refer to these articles for detailed information.

Hi Tai J, Sorry for the late reply. DemoRad doesn't have the capability to modify ramp timings. 
 Thanks, Emrecan
