IWR1443BOOST: Can 2 IWR1443 EVM's be used simultaneously

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443, AWR1443

is it possible for me to use 2 IWR1443's (separated by a distance) simultaneously? If so, can someone please let me know what hardware setup/software modification would I need to do. Also, is it possible for me to start the transmitting chirps for both IWR's at the same time?

Hi,

This is possible but not currently supported, I will get back to you with suggestions on how to get this done.

Thanks Charles, in the meantime, let me know if this can be implemented using IWR 1443:

Hi,

It can be implemented using any of the EVMs. We just don't have an example at this time, you will need to development your own application.

We have demos in the TIREX with the matlab visualizer source code included, this is recommended starting point. You can also use the ROS driver lab if you are more vast in Linux and ROS

Hi ,

Thanks, can you confirm that I can use 2 iwr's in series in the same way as described for awr1443 where If we use an external TCXO 40Mhz clock, AC coupled 1.8v, to CLKP, 50 ohm resistor to GND CLKM, and connect the SYNC OUT of one of two radar sensors to the SYNC IN of both radar sensors, we can start them at the same time.

The link is attached in the previous thread.

Thanks

Krishna
