I am left with several questions. Justin's response on this thread implies that BPM-MIMO is supported and available on the 6843. Piyush_'s response seems to say it is not.
(I am working with DCA1000EVM / IWR6843ISK)
My questions:
1.)Does the 6843 chip hardware have the capability to do BPM-MIMO? i.e. is the chip hardware capable of doing simultaneous transmission of BPM signal on 2 or 3 of the Tx antennas?
2.)When Piyush_ says it is not supported what does this mean exactly? Does it mean that BPM is not implemented in any of the labs/demos? OR does it mean that the latest SDK does not allow it? OR does it mean that the 6843 hardware is simply not capable of it?
3.)Does the current SDK, (MMWAVE-SDK 03_01_01_02), support BPM-MIMO on the 6843? Do any previous versions of the SDK support it? Will any future versions of the SDK support it? When might these be available?
4.)If the chip hardware supports BPM-MIMO but the SDK does not, is there any way that a programmer can still use the chip's capabilities and implement BPM-MIMO in an application?
5.)I am interested in BPM-MIMO because I want as much range as possible while still getting the benefit of 12 virtual antennas for angle resolution. Any suggestions on achieving this on 6843 without using BPM-MIMO area also very welcome.
Thanks in advance for any clarification on this
