AWR1642BOOST: Case materials for AWR1642 Boost

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hello,

 

My customer bought AWR1642 boost. They are trying to evaluate it on a car. Their application is occupancy detection. To avoid damage, they are making a case with ABS or PC (Poly Carbonate). Do you see any issues with the materials?

 

Best regards,

Ken

    Hello Ken,
    We are not experts in the radome material, but Poly carbonate has been used for casing in radar applications. The design needs to be done carefully to reduce the degradation due to the material. You can refer to the following application note for some radome guidlines www.rfbeam.ch/.../AN-03-Radome.pdf
    Note that in AWR device the carrier frequency is ~80Ghz.

    regards,
