IWR6843AOP: Antenna Positions (Placement and Relative Spacing)

Part Number: IWR6843AOP

The IWR6843AOP sensor datasheet and EVMs data sheet has different labelling for TX and RX antenna - TX1 & TX2 are swapped, All RX are swapped 

60GHz mmWave Sensor EVMs (SWRU546D – OCTOBER 2018 – REVISED DECEMBER 2020) on Page 51

IWR6843AOP Datasheet (SWRS237A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED APRIL 2021) on Page 35

Which one is correct labelling for TX and RX antenna? i.e. TX and RX antenna numbering

  • Hi Vithy, 

    Thankyou for reaching out to us.

    Please give me some time to investigate on this and I shall get back to you with my insights on Monday.

  • Hello Vithy, 

    The Antenna placement is correct in both figures, just the perspective is different. 

    In the datasheet (SWRS237A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED APRIL 2021), Pin A1 is in the bottom right, whereas in the EVM user guide (SWRU546D – OCTOBER 2018 – REVISED DECEMBER 2020), it is the bottom left as pointed by the dot highlighted below : 

    Hope this makes sense and brings more clarity. 

    Regards,
