Rad-R: A Real-World Raw-ADC Dataset and Benchmark for mmWave Automotive Radar Robustness
Anonymous submission to NeurIPS 2026 — Evaluations & Datasets Track.
Rad-R is the first publicly released radar dataset combining raw ADC captures from a 4-chip TI MMWCAS-RF-EVM cascade radar (12 Tx × 16 Rx = 192 virtual channels, 77 GHz) with physically induced hardware fault annotations at multiple severity levels, synchronized with companion sensors (BNO055 IMU, DHT22 board/ambient temperature, three GPS streams, Intel RealSense D435 camera with two co-recorded streams).
Captured fault classes (v1.0)
| Class | Severity | Specification | File |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthy | S0 | Baseline (no induced fault) | healthy.h5 |
| Misalignment | S1 (mild) | 5° yaw via precision jig + inclinometer | yaw0.h5 |
| Misalignment | S2 (severe) | 10° yaw | yaw2.h5 |
| Vibration | S1 (mild) | 20 Hz drive (eccentric DC motor on radar mount) | vib1.h5 |
| Vibration | S2 (severe) | 40 Hz drive | vib2.h5 |
| Blockage | S1 (mild) | 30 % polycarbonate coverage on PP radome | blockage1.h5 |
| Blockage | S2 (severe) | 60 % polycarbonate coverage on PP radome | blockage2.h5 |
| Rx degradation | S1 (mild) | 6/16 Rx antennas copper-taped | degrade0.h5 |
| Rx degradation | S2 (severe) | 10/16 Rx antennas copper-taped | degrade1.h5 |
Severity is gated by measured physical quantities (BNO055 RMS, inclinometer angle, corner-reflector dB drop, single-tone calibration sweep) — not just the procedural setting.

How to load (training cache, recommended)
import h5py
import numpy as np
with h5py.File("training_cache.h5", "r") as f:
rd = np.asarray(f["rd_map"]) # (1800, 224, 224) f32
iq = np.asarray(f["iq"]) # (1800, 64, 256, 16) complex64
fault = np.asarray(f["fault_label"]) # (1800,) int (0=healthy, 1=vib, 2=misalign, 3=block, 4=rxdeg)
sev = np.asarray(f["severity_label"]) # (1800,) int (0=healthy, 1=mild, 2=severe)
capture = np.asarray(f["capture"]).astype(str)
How to load (synced metadata + raw .bin pipeline)
The 9 synced_hdf5/*.h5 files contain per-radar-frame wall-clock timestamps and synchronized companion-sensor streams, but NOT the raw IQ — that lives in TI mmWave Studio *_data.bin capture directories (~324 GB total, available via Zenodo deposit on request).
If you have the raw .bin directories alongside the synced HDF5s, the matlab-to-python pipeline (in the code repo) reads the cascaded ADC, applies range/Doppler FFT, and produces the same RD maps as in training_cache.h5.
Hardware
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Platform | TI MMWCAS-RF-EVM (4× AWR1243) |
| Center frequency | 77 GHz |
| Bandwidth | ~2.5 GHz (256 ADC samples × 79 MHz/μs) |
| Tx × Rx | 12 × 16 = 192 virtual channels |
| Range resolution | 0.06 m |
| Max range | 15.2 m |
| Frame rate | 10 Hz (5 min × 9 captures = 45 min total recording) |
| Companion camera | Intel RealSense D435 (two streams: camera2, camera4) |
| Radome | 1/16″ polypropylene panel (always installed) |
Companion sensors (per-frame aligned)
- Bosch BNO055 IMU — 3-axis accel + gyro + temperature, ~33 Hz
- DHT22 — board + ambient temperature, ~1 Hz
- u-blox NEO-M9N GPS — three decoded streams (legacy, bag-decoded, trips-DB-fused)
- Intel RealSense D435 camera — two co-recorded streams (
camera2andcamera4stream IDs in the synced HDF5s); PNG paths + per-frame timestamps
Evaluation tasks
- In-distribution fault classification (5-way: healthy + 4 fault classes)
- Severity classification (3-way: 0=healthy, 1=mild, 2=severe)
- (Future: cross-day / cross-device / cross-scene OOD splits — deferred to v1.1 capture session)
Baselines benchmarked (in the paper)

Limitations (v1.0)
- Single capture device, single day, overlapping scenes. Full OOD splits along device / day / scene axes deferred to a follow-on capture campaign.
- Two severity levels per fault (mild / severe). The taxonomy supports up to 4 levels (S0–S3) but only S1–S2 are captured here.
- Thermal stress and RF interference are part of the dataset specification but not yet captured. Scheduled for v1.1.
- Raw .bin not redistributed via this HF repo (300 GB exceeds quota). Available on request; will be deposited on Zenodo at camera-ready.
