Hello,

I want to know some things about AWR1642 ES 2.0 radar sensor.

1. what is the output power of the antenna in dB of AWR1642 ES 2.0?

2. What is the angle of resolution of AWR1642 ES 2.0 in Elevation (Range) and Azimuth?

Thanking you

Yours sincerely,

Hello Harish,
You can find the TX o/p spec in the AWr1642 datasheet. Further the PCB has an antenna , its gain plot is available in the AWR1642BOOST user guide which you can refer to.

Regarding angular resolution, you can get upto 8 virtual receive antenna with wavelength/2 spacing. This gives you an angular resolution on the azimuth plane of about 14.5 deg (this is standard equation and you can refer to the following app note for details : www.ti.com/.../swra553.pdf). If you look at the antenna pattern of the PCB there is no antenna put to get angular resolution in the elevation.

Regards,
Vivek

Hello Vivek,

I read your answer and the link which you provided for the radar equation www.ti.com/.../swra553.pdf is not opening.

Thank you
