IWR6843AOP: PCB Guideline to design IWR6843AOP

Part Number: IWR6843AOP


Dear Sir/Madam,
Since TI mmwave is all-in-one design, could customer design a IWR6843AOP PCB with 4 layers? Does  TI have any guideline or recommendation if  4 layers PCB is workable with enough accuracy?
 Customer also want to check on IWR6843AOP Radome (radar housing) requirement. I can only find the app note here: Radome Design (ti.com). Do you have any other recommendation and guide to go them through the Radome (radar housing) design?
E.g Does TI  advice to use symmetrical RO-4350B core at layer 1 and layer 9 as shown in the picture below? 
Best regards,
kpk

    Thanks for reaching out. 

    Yes, it is possible to use a four layer PCB with the IWR6843AOP. Because there is no RF routing on the top or bottom layers, it is possible to use FR4 as the dielectric. 

    Our Radome Guide is our best resource for design and simulation of radomes. If you or your customer have specific questions or difficulties with radome design or simulation, it may be possible to set up a call.
