AWR1642: Confirm Power in TX and Gain in RX

Part Number: AWR1642

                                          (1)ARW1XXX chip datasheet

                    (2) mmWaveSensingEstimator


 

                                           (3) mmwave studio

                                                        Fig1


                                                    Fig2

The reason I ask this question is i want to know the output out power of each TX channel for each configuration. And estimate effect of the RX gain on detection performance

 

TX:

I have read AWR1XXX chip datasheet/have used mmWaveSensingEstimator tool/ have used mmwave studio, see fig1(1)~(3).

AWR1XXX chip datasheet says max output power of each TX channel is 12dBm.

mmWaveSensingEstimator tool allow set max output power of each TX channel is 12dBm and set TX/RX antenna gain.

 

1/ I want to confirm how much is the max out power of each TX channel? 12dBm means output power of PA or TX antenna (see fig2)?

2/ What is out power range of each TX channel?

3/ what is the relation between output power and O/p Pwr Backoff TX in fig1(3).

4/ is each tx antenna gain a fixed value, 9 dB (see fig1(2))?

RX:

1/What is RX gain range of each RX channel can be set in fig1(3)? What is the proper setting?

2/What is RF gain target range of each RX channel can be set in fig1(3)? What is the proper setting?

3/ RX Gain/RF Gain Target all does not include RX antenna gain, right?

4/ is each rx antenna gain a fixed value, 9 dB (see fig1(2))?
