IWR1443BOOST: mmWaveStudio antenna config and spacing

user6001481

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, , IWR1443

Hi,

I use DCA1000EVM + IWR1443BOOST, mmWaveStudio to capture adc data.

I wanna know about antenna config in mmWaveStudio.

There is a checkbox to select the Tx and Rx antenna to use in the [Static Config] and [Sensor Config] tabs.

Which PCB antenna of IWR1443 corresponds to Tx0, Tx1, Tx2, Rx0.... respectively?

In addition, can you tell me the distance between tx1 and rx4 in the figure?

Best Regards,

Konishi

Konishi-san,

Thank you for your interest on this topic. Confusion on this is understandable.

Static configuration Tx1, Tx2 and Tx3 would be mapped to Sensor configuration TX0, TX1, TX2 respectively.

Userguide picture is for older version of EVM, In the newer EVM we have dummy Antenna added to improve the matching of Rx across the pairs.

Below diagram shows distance between Tx1 to Rx4

Thanks and regards,
