IWR6843AOP: Japan's Radio Certification

Jenn-Bing Ong

Part Number: IWR6843AOP

Hi TI,

We have received some questions from a Japan company on whether it is possible to obtain Japan's Radio certification using the existing millimeter wave sensor demo kit.

1. What is the center frequency, bandwidth, and transmission power used by the millimeter wave sensor. Frequency: 60-64GHz and Transmission Power: 10dBm.
2. Is there a test mode for testing wireless characteristics?
3. Is it possible to set the transmission state to a continuous transmission state other than the intermittent transmission state?
4. Is it possible to set the reception state to continuous reception?
5. Is the transmission power adjustable by command? Yes, transmission power adjustable using the mmWave SDK, command parameters: txOutPower.
6. Is there a career sense function?
7. Is it possible to control the transmission time? (Settings to maximize transmission time and minimize transmission pause time)

Kindly advise on the questions raised above.
If you have further input on the radio's certification, please feedback accordingly.

Best Regards,
jenn

This is configurable through the .cfg file.

Yes this is configured in the .cfg file.

My colleague will handle the remainder of the question.

Hi Jenn,

2. This depends on the type of testing you would like to do. You can perform testing in functional mode (chirping) or some testing could be completed in Continuous Wave mode. Please keep in mind that the device is not intended to operate in CW regularly.

3. The device can be set into a continuous wave mode for some limited testing purposes, however the device isn't intended to operate in real-world use cases in CW mode. It should only be used in FMCW mode outside of the lab.

4.Like with q3, yes. Turn off the TX and set the device into CW mode. Keep in mind that signals must be carefully selected in order to ensure they are not mixed down to DC.

6.I presume you mean carrier sense. It may be possible to create a carrier sense function algorithmically in the user application code.

I hope that helps!
