Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM,
Dear TI support Team,
I am working with IWR6843ISK-ODS mmWave antenna module together with IC Boost and DCA1000EVM to obtain raw I/Q data, which I would like to process offline.
Since the antenna module has 3 TX and 4 RX antennas, in theory one may have 3*4=12 data streams corresponding to 12 TX-RX pairs. I would like to know how this is possible with this board and how data can be separated.
More specifically:
-- I would like to know how the signal is transmitted from 3 TX antennas. Are all TX antennas transmit the same FMCW signal, which I do not think so, since then the signal from different TX antennas cannot be separated at RX antennas. Or doTX antennas work in time division mode, where at each instant signal is transmitted through one of the TX antennas while the other two do not transmit any signal. Or is there any other transmission protocal between TX antennas which allows their signals to be separated.
-- How can these 12 data streams be extracted from the file generated by DCA1000EVM on my computer? Is there any specific code that I can run.
I would be grateful if you can forward me the related documents.
thanks a lot.
Best Wishes,
Saeid
