Tool/software:
Hi IWR6843AOP Champ !
A customer needs test code for individual antenna control for their IWR6843AOP based module for the product qualification process.
Is there an API code to control each TX/RX and is it possible to control each antenna in a radar tool such as mmWave Studio?
If it is not possible to control the antenna in the existing Radar tool, please guide me on how to enable/disable each antenna using UART command from the host MCU, etc.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Jack
Jack,
Please disable unwanted antennas using the chirp configuration file. Examples can be found in the SDK (https://www.ti.com/tool/MMWAVE-L-SDK) and Radar Toolbox (https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AEIJm0rwIeU.2P1OBWwlaA__radar_toolbox__1AslXXD__LATEST).
Alternatively, the Radar can be placed in MIMO mode. This is also set in the configuration file.
Thanks,
Blake
