Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443, IWR1443BOOST

Hi,

I have several very basic questions about TI mmWave please.

Can two sensors (for example two IWR1443's) communicate with each other in duplex manner? In other words, I want to mountain an IWR1443 on some moving object and another IWR1443 on another moving object and compute the distance between them depending on the signal latency. Is it possible?
Are TI mmWave sensors directional or omni ? If directional, what is the FOV?
If the answer for question one is "True", can more than two sensors communicate with each other in full-interconnected manner? What is the limit?

Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Humam,

Unfortunately mmWave Sensors cannot be used for RF communication.

The FoV is going to be +/- 60 degrees azimuth, +/-15 elevation for IWR1443BOOST

Cheers,
Akash

Thank you very much for your reply!
Do you have any suggestion about other type of TI product that can do the trick?
