Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

We need to do some test on RF parameters.

Is there any suggestion on generating a single tone CW signal with AWR1642boost?

Thank you.

Hi Juan, one method I use to generate a CW signal is with Radar Studio, that comes as part of the MMWAVE_DFP package:

www.ti.com/.../mmwave-dfp

Please take a look at Chapter 10 in the Radar Studio User Guide pertaining to Continuous Streaming. The User Guide can be found in the mmwave_dfp_00_07_00_03\rf_eval\docs directory of the package.

Let me know if this helps!

Hello Juan,

As Bill mentioned the continuous mode can be setup via Radar Interface API call. These API calls are described in documentation available in Device Firmware pack.

Please check 5.19.3 Continuous streaming mode (in single device case) in the above document.

Thank you,
Vaibhav

Hi Bill and Vaibhav

Thank you for your reply.

That helps.

And I suggest to have an interpretation on this continuous streaming mode in your future documentation.
