AWR1443BOOST: AWR1443BOOST: TX output power reduction

Jon_350

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

Hello,

regarding to this Thread, the TX power can be reduced using the profilecfg command of the the mmwave Sensor.

Hower, when settting any of the mentioned valid values the selected signal level is still on the same level as without the recution.

I tested the setting in scattering mode and with the Heatmap using SDK Version 1.0 and 1.1 with 1443 and 1463 Boost kit.

How could i observ the reduction in other ways then comparing the signal level?

Best regards

Jon

Hi Jon,

Have you tried using the latest mmWave-SDK 1.2?

I've asked an mmWave expert to look at this query and someone should have an answer for you on Monday.

Cheers,

Hi Akash,

I just testet both devices with sdk version 1.2 but the measured value of neigther the heatmap nor the peak level of the detected points changes after sending a changed profileCfg like this:

profileCfg 0 77 4755 7 114.29 12 0 35 1 224 2107 0 0 30

I also varied the paramter in the range from [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30].

Regards,

Jon
