AWR6843: testing the performance of antennas in our PCB

Part Number: AWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODECOMPOSER

Hi Team,

Can you please check and advise with following request?

We are working on TI AWR6843 chipset and using slightly different antennas but very similar to AWR6843ISK-ODS EVM. We want to test the performance of antennas in our PCB. We observed that you have shared the antenna performances for each antenna pair in "60 GHz mmWave Sensor EVMs" document. What is the required test set up to obtain this results? We have thought that you had used a constant reflector in front of the EVM and you have collected the captured data from ADC for each angle of rotation. Is this correct? And if yes, could you please share the source code for this test?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Hi,

You referenced information that was shared in a document, can you point me to the document just to be sure what you need?

You can use the mmwave studio software and a corner reflector for raw data capture.

Hi Charler,

Here is the feedback, can you please check and advise?

Since we are a little new to the environment here, if there is a ready example of how we can import Raw-Data, an approach to it makes our job a lot easier. I installed the Measument-Studio IDE, I haven't had a chance to try it yet. We are working on CodeComposer.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

mmWave Studio allows you to capture raw data capture. I recommend using this and understanding the capabilities of the IDE, if there it doesn't meet your requirement for what you are trying to get/implement feel free to post follow up question here.
