AWR1243: [AWR1243P] Boost 20 GHz LO by AMP in AWR1243P cascading radar

Taro Shibata

Part Number: AWR1243

Hello,

I would like to know if we can boost 20 GHz LO output from master AWR1243P by external AMP in order to connect many slave devices?

Are there any restriction other than 20 GHz LO sync link budget?

Hello Shibata,

yes you can use an external amp to boost the 20Ghz signal and feed it back to master and slave devices. The max input level on the SYNC IN should be < 10dBm.

You need to match the routing and delays on the paths to all the devices.

regards,

Vivek
