AWR1443BOOST: BEST SUITED mmwave sensor EVM for Long-range and Mid-Range automotive application

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, AWR1443, AWR1243, TMS320F28069, TMS570LS0432,

As the total number of virtual antennas in AWR1642 is 8 and in AWR1443 the number is 12. So, which will be the best suited EVM for Mid-Range and Long- Range applications in autonomous driving, and why?

As on page no. 6 under AWR1642 use case in the white paper 'www.ti.com/.../spyy006.pdf' it is mentioned that awr1642 is used as a short range radar only. Is awr1443 a better option over awr1642 for the mid and long range aplications ?

  • Hi,

    What detection range are you interested in?

    The following TI design shows how the AWR1642 is used for distances up to 80-120m

    Are you interested in longer range?

    If the answer is yes, you would need to consider AWR1243.

    AWR1243 must be used with a Host Processor since it does not include internal processing engine.

    Please search this forum for "AWR1243 host processor" and you should find similar threads

    thank you

  • I'm looking for Long and mid range applications (150-250 m). AWR1443 with intergrated MCU is a better option or AWR1243?
  • In this type of use case, it would be recommended to use a cascaded AWR1243 setup with an external host processor. Here is some more information about a cascaded AWR1243 setup.

  • Hi Kyle,

    Can i use TMS570LS0432 or TMS320F28069 as the host processor with AWR1243?
