IWR1843BOOST: FCC Certification

Shoko-San,

The FCC does not license/certify evaluation modules, therefore there are not any FCC IDs to provide. Licensure and certification is reserved for final end-equipments. However, as a means to show the ability to meet FCC compliance standards, we have requested third-party test houses to perform engineering evaluations under the same conditions as FCC certification testing. This is to show that our parts can and do meet §15.209 and §15.255.

Additionally, many of our EVMs are required by ETSI to meet the RED for sales in the European Common Market. DoCs can be found the revelevent EVM page on ti.com.

All of our test reports are availible for your inspection in the TI Radar Toolbox. You can find those here: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AFgMtX2JlnL2cAqGkGwl9w__FUz-xrs__LATEST 

Thanks!

Hello Blake, 

Thank you for the information of your test reports of TI's evaluation board. 

I have some questions about these test reports. 

1) I would like to see IWR1843AOPEVM's FCC test report. Please add it on TI Radar Toolbox. 

2) Some evaluation boards only have RED test report and don't have FCC test reports. 

 Why don't these have FCC test reports? I would like to see FCC test report of IWR1843BOOST. 

3) Test report of IWR1843BOOST(EN 302 264) and IWR6843AOPEVM(EN 305 550)

Regarding TX unwanted emissions(30-1000MHz) spectrum waveform, IWR1843BOOST has the large sprious around 300MHz. 

But IWR6843AOPEVM doesn't have the sprious. 

What is the reason for the large difference between spurious IWR1843BOOST and IWR6843AOPEVM?

I think that the sprious is not due to Radar IC. Also, I think that this large sprious exceeds FCC 47 CFR 15 Subpart B spec. 

Please advise. 

Best regards, 

Shoko

FCC testing is not performed on all of our EVMs. We do perform it for some EVMs but not all. If you do not see an FCC report shown, then it has not been performed and it is not availible.

This was dispositioned as being from the XDS110 debugger which was disabled on the IWR6843AOPEVM but not on the IWR1843BOOST.

That is correct. Further debug efforts were deemed unneeded following the above disposition. 

Hello, 

Thanks for your reply. 

Please let me know the criteria to do FCC test or RED test of EVMs. 

(What is the trigger for you to test EVMs?) 

Regards, 

Shoko

Shoko-san, 

We have many customers who have successfully taken IWR1843AOP and IWR1843 products to production in FCC and ETSI regulated markets. We are confident that with propper EMI/EMC focused design, your product can also pass FCC and ETSI certifications. 

If there are tests that you feel should be covered by the Radar team, please contact your local TI representatives. 

Thanks!

Hello, 

That doesn't answer my question. What is the trigger for you to test EVMs?

Shoko-san, 

Unfortunately, that question is out of the scope of E2E forums. Please contact your local TI representatives if you desire a follow up. 

Thanks.
