IWR6843AOP: What's the difference between the IWR6843AOP and AWR6843AOP?

What's the practical difference between the IWR6843AOP, AWR6843AOP and AWR1843AOP ?  Do they have different ranges, number of detections they can track, etc?

    Hello.

    The IWR products are meant for industrial purposes, while AWR products are often used in automotive applications.  As a result, there are differences in these sensors to fit the environment that they are in as well as any required safety standards.  The differences between the two AWR products is the operating frequency.  The 6843 is 60 GHz frequency, while the 1843 is 77 GHz frequency.

    Sincerely,

    Santosh

    I'm looking to use one of these products on an airborne platform, so I don't fall neatly into the industrial or automotive categories.  Do all of those models have similar resolution of detections?  I'm interested in getting the finest detailed picture of the world that I can.

    The resolution is the same between products, but if you are looking for differences in the frequency of operation and what this difference impacts, you can look at the fundamentals of radar page linked here.  However, for any product you plan to sell, your product must comply with regulations set by the FCC, so it would depend on what you want to do + whether it fits within the FCC guidelines.

    Hope this helps,
