Part Number: AWR1642
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843

Hello,

I can see txOutPower has been tested only with '0' in mmWave SDK:

Does it mean we have any issues when we set txOutPower other than '0'?

If no, what's the valid range of this value for AWR1843?

P.S.

Same question for txPhaseShifter.

Do we have any issues when we set txPhaseShifter to '1'?

Regards,

James

Hi James,

We do not expect any issues when using these two parameters, however they have not been explicitly tested at TI with the released version of the SDK.

Hi James,

The API accepts all 8-bit values, however you may not see much difference at very high values. Typical values of up to 10 or 20 dB have been tested.
