AWRL6432: Is there any way to have two(or multiple) RF preset so that user can switch the setting quickly?

Part Number: AWRL6432

Hello team,

For some cases, customer wants to change RF setting very quickly. Is there any way to have two(or multiple) RF preset so that user can switch the setting quickly? Your help would be appreciated!

Regards,

  • HI, Victor:

    Can you provide more details regarding the multiple chirp configuration switch?   

    1) Is the application is low power application? meaning that the chirp is going through deep sleep and wake up every frame?

    2) Does the two (multiple) RF preset result in different signal chain or the exactly same chain and post processing? For example, whether different RF preset will go through same signal chain, and same ADC samples per chirp, same number of chirps per frame, and etc.  

    3) Does the switch happens regularly, for example, one frame of chirp1 and one frame of chirp2. 

    By the way, the switch can only happen in the frame level, not at the chirp level.

  • Hello Zigang,

    Actually there is no detail requirement or plan yet. Customer just wanted to know if our device has such features. Later, once they have some detail requirements, they will reach out to me for further discussion. While waiting that, if we have any plan for this feature, please let me know.

  • HI, Victor:

    Currently, we have one demo that switch the chirp configuration in the middle.  This demo will be available in the next toolbox release.  I will let you know as soon as the release is ready.  We expected to be early next week.
