IWR6843: Minimum frame period for IWR6843

Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1843,

Tool/software:

Hi,

Customer test on IWR1843 found it can still work with frame period as 0.25ms. Only change start frequency to 60GHZ, with all other cfg keep unchanged, test on IWR6843 board, can work with frame period as 0.4ms, while would report error if frame period is 0.25ms. Below show their cfg test on IWR6843.

Checking the DFP user guide and SDK, both mention the minimum frame period is 0.3ms. Can u check and let me know why 0.25ms frame period can work on IWR1843 while cannot work on IWR6843?
