IWR1642BOOST: Idle time

Nancy Wang

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Hi,

When the first chirp was transmitted, was there a period of idle time in the first? Or did the first chirp be transmitted directly followed by an idle time?

Hello Nancy,

Each chirp has an active chirping time where it is sampling the data and some part of idle time.

Even the first chirp has active and idle time both.

Is this what you wanted to confirm?

Regards,

Ishita

Hi,

Is idle time before tx start? When transmitting first chirp, is it idle time->tx strat?

Hello Nancy,

Yes, you're right. There's the chirp Idle time first before the TX start or collectively called as the chirp active time.

In the chirp idle time, the system firmware needs to prepare for the configuration of the next chirp since every chirp can be different.

Hope that answers your question.

Ishita
