AWR1843: awr1843 power optimization

Hi,

You are correct, the awr1843 does not support the same power optimization features as awr6843.

The only way to reduce power for awr1843 is to reduce the RF activitiy.

Thank you

Hi,

We confirmed the manual power optimization is possible in awr1843.

(For example DDS Clock Gate, MSS VCLK to 40 MHz, BSS Clock Gate)

This modes are not validated by TI for AWR1843, so they should not be used in production.

But 'RF Power Down' configuration did not work.

In 6843 this feature is enabled through the RF firmware.

This feature is not available on AWR1843 RF firmware

What is the meaning of this answer you said ? (The only way to reduce power for awr1843 is to reduce the RF activitiy.)

This means reducing the RF activity by reducing the number of Chirps

Thank you
