AWR1642: AWR1642 additional specfication question

Adam Yao94020

Part Number: AWR1642

Hi champion,
My customer is evaluationg AWR1642, they want to know below specficaiton of the chip which is not listed in the data sheet.

1）Isolation between RX-RX, TX-TX and RX-TX paths

2）Amplitude balance across RX channels

3）Phase balance across RX channels

4）TX power RF flatness

5）Chirp linearity error
6) Minimum Tx power

Could you help to check it?

Thanks,
Adam

Hello Adam,
The TX- RX isolation is typically around 35dB and TX-TX isolation is ~30dB.
The amplitude and phase mismatchs would be dominated by onboard trace mismatches , which would need to be calibrated out externally on the final product.

Hello Vivek,
Do we have Rx-Rx isolation?
I understand the isolation would be dominated by the antenna and trace isolation on the board. Is this correct? Do you have the isolation data about TI EVM trace and antenna?

Thanks,
Adam

Hello Adam,
That is right, the antenna isolation would be dominant. On the TI EVM the RX-RX antenna isolation is >16dB.

Hello Vivek,
Thanks, do we have TX-RX antenna isolation data?

Hello Adam,
The TX-RX antenna isolation is > 30dB.

Adam,

TX power flatness is typically 1dB over a 2GHz bandwidth.

When the TX is off, you will get more than 30dB isolation. Is that what you are looking for, or are you looking for the minimum TX power when on?

Hi Brian,
Thanks. I am clear now.

Best regards,

Hi champion,
I am looking for the minimum TX power when the Tx on.
Could you help to check it?
Thanks,

Hi Lin,

Please see transmission power control for a discussion of the TX backoff power control.

Hello Vivek,

But inside the chip what is the isolation of the RX-RX?

it's possible to be assume that RX-RX isolation it's on the TX-TX isolation order?

RX-RX isolation is typically better than 35dB.
