AWRL6432: Question about designing antenna

Part Number: AWRL6432
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843ISK, IWR6843

Dear TI experts,

My customer considers AWRL6432 for their new product, and have a question about antenna.

we know that designin their own antenna is difficult, so I want my customer to suggest desining antenna just same as EVM.

the problem is, I found Altium design files for IWR6843ISK(https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc355) and even found PCB stackup guide. (https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spracg5)

and this time I want to Altium design files (or anything) to design antenna for AWRL6432 and PCB stackup guide. (is it okay to use same document as IWR6843?)

Please check this issue. Thanks.

Best regards,

Chase

Hi Chase,

Yes. It should be okay to use the IWR documents to design the antenna.

Thanks,

Dear Sreedeep,

Thank you for your support.

I understand that your answer is about PCB stack-up.

How about the antenna layout? AWRL6432 is 2Tx/3Rx but IWR6843 is 3Tx/4Rx. Maybe antenna structure is different.

Can I get the antenna layout (Pads or Altium or anything) for AWRL6432?

Best regards,

Chase
