Hello all!
First I just want to apologize for being so poorly informed on the topic.
We are trying to make a device that uses the IWR1443 sensor. We have the EVM board and the SDK with which we can achieve our purpose.
Obviously, however, we want to integrate the IWR sensor into our own PCB, and I wasn't able to find much documentation regarding how the place antennas in a custom design / how do they work (does the antenna "see" from the point where it ends?, sorry again for being so misinformed).
My question is basically, are there any design rules we need to follow when designing a trace on our PCB that will act as an antenna/ is it possible to extend the antenna to a different location (like have the PCB in one part of our device and run the antenna to measure from a different part of our device).
I know this is probably a pretty vague question, but I would hugely appreciate if anyone can point me to some documentation or publications that could help us understand (I've already read the EVM user guide).
Thanks!
