AWR1843BOOST: 1843boost antenna pattern

Hi, there:

Yes, AWR1843Boost has 3 TX and 4 RX channel.  Are you running some demo and want to check whether that demo support TDM or BPM?  Or you are configure the device through mmWave studio  and connect with DCA1000 for data capture?  Note that Different demo may have different limitation, but mmWave studio will give you the full potential in configuration.  Please provide more details. 

Best,

Zigang

hi, thanks for your patience.
I didn't use any demo, but the following firmware.
I'm using mmWave Studio2.1.0.0  for my AWR1843BOOST. now, in Connect Tab, the BSS file and MSS file are below:

in the next tab as below:

so I want to know whether the awr1843boost does support the 3T4R, and what mode it is for the firmware?

HI, there:

Please refer to the following e2e thread for BPM configuration.

Please refer to the following e2e thread for TDM,

hi, thanks for your help. This solved in fact half of my problem.
I have known that AWR1843 does support 3Tx in BPM mode.
my question is :

  it is mentioned that the iwr6843isk does support 3TXs enabled in TDM mode above the link. 

but I am not sure, whether AWR1843( not iwr6843) does support 3Tx enabled in TDM mode? 

2) secondly, whether it is absolutly same between iwr6843 and awr1843 in antenna pattern?

HI, there:

(1) whether AWR1843( not iwr6843) does support 3Tx enabled in TDM mode? 

Yes, you can program the chirp to enable TX1/TX2/TX3 alternatively TDM mode.  If you mean enable 3TX at the same time, then it is not called TDM, but yes, you can enable all the TX at the same time. 

2) secondly, whether it is absolutly same between iwr6843 and awr1843 in antenna pattern?
xWR1843 boost and xWR6843ISK-ODS may not have the same antenna pattern, but the way to program TDM/BPM are the same. 

Best,

Zigang

thank you.

I have solved these problems by your replying.
the last question:

here tx1\tx2\tx3, that means tx0\tx1\tx2 in mmwave Studio?
