IWR6843AOPEVM: radiation pattern and virtual antenna array

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

Hello Everyone,

I found the radiation pattern of the antenna in the datasheet and the resource explorer. As I'm trying to do some Simulations in Matlab, I want to ask if the data of the radiation pattern is also available as a .csv file. 

Furthermore, I want to ask if there is more information on the antenna itself, like what kind of antenna it is and which dimensions it has, etc. In the resource explorer, I found out, what position the antennas to each other have, assuming a 5mm wavelength, but nothing more.

My second question is regarding the virtual antenna array. Is it correct, that the hardware supports or enables the implementation of a virtual antenna array (MIMO radar), but it's not actually implemented in any of your demos? 

Sorry, if these questions sound pretty simple and basic, I'm quite new in the field of antenna technology.

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Anne-Mira

    I don't think the data is available in CSV version but I will get back to you with a confirmation.

    This is proprietary information that cannot be shared

    Yes the device supports 6-bit linear phase modulation for MIMO radar, see details on MIMO radar in link below.

    Thanks for your response.

    It doesn't exactly resolve my issue, but answers the question so I guess, it's correct to tag your answer that way.

    Have a nice week!
