IWR6843AOP: IWR6843AOP: Horn antenna / dielectric lens

Part Number: IWR6843AOP

Hi TI people,

I was wondering if you are planning on releasing any Application Note, Reference Design, or anything on using a horn antenna or dielectric lens with the IWR6843AOP  device.

As part of an internship, I am looking to use the IWR6843AOP for level sensing in big tanks, which will most likely introduce some unwanted reflections.

It seems to me that especially the horn antenna requires some complicated RF stuff like waveguides, or would it also be possible to just mount a horn on top of an IWR6843AOP antenna?

In the recent Fluid Level Transmitter Lab, I noticed the mention of a lens. I am not completely sure about the practical difference between a (dielectric) lens and a horn antenna.

Is it the case that a horn antenna not only limits the transmitting angle, but also the receiving angle. And that a lens only limits the transmitting angle, and picks up any returning signal?

Thanks for your time!

With kind regards,

Liam
