Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642
Hi,
in the data sheet of the IWR1443 it says:
“The three transmit channels can be operated up to a maximum of two at a time (simultaneously) for transmit beamforming purpose as required; whereas the four receive channels can all be operated simultaneously.”
My understanding is that typically with say 2x TX, the IWR1443 is transmitting chirps alternately on TX1, TX2, TX1 etc, which allows to have 2x virtual RX antennas.
Additionally is it possible to transmit on 2x TX simultaneously and thereby steer the beam? There is a note in one of the presentations for a mode that is called, BPM-coded simultaneous TX, multiple TX being used for TX beamforming (simultaneous TX with phase shift).
Is this supported?
Thanks,
