AWR1843BOOST: it is possible to edit the geometry.c file in the DEMO lab to get an antenna geometry like the ODS board?

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843, AWR1843AOP

Hi, we have a custom board with an antenna arrangement similar to the ODS board, I would like to know if I could edit the geometry.c file in the DEMO lab to get my custom antenna arrangement, if it is not possible what would be the best way to achieve this?

thanks

  • Hi,

    Please read the Antenna Geometry Definition provided in the mmWave SDK demo documentation.

    C:/ti/mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04/packages/ti/datapath/dpc/dpu/aoa2dproc/docs/doxygen/html/index.html

    It seems that the Virtual Rx Array for your custom antenna is similar to the Virtual Rx Array of the 1843AOP EVM supported by the SDK demo.

    However there is a difference in the Numbering. It is reversed.

    So you may want to look at the antenna configuration in "C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\board\antenna_geometry.c" and modify it for your antenna.

    ANTDEF_AntGeometry gAntDef_AWR1843AOP = {
         .txAnt = {
                    {0, 2},
                    {0, 1},
                    {0, 0}
           },
         .rxAnt = {
                    {3, 0},
                    {2, 0},
                    {1, 0},
                    {0, 0}
                  }
    };

    Thank you
