IWR6843: Generating a CW signal

Alessandro Spinetti1

Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST, , DCA1000EVM,

Hi all,

I'm developing firmware with the mmWaveICBoost and the IWR6843ISK boards.

I'm using Code Composer studio version 8.3.0.00009 with mmWave sdk vers. 03.01.01.02 on a Windows 7 machine.

I want to program the IWR to generate a CW output signal with defined frequency. In this case the acquisition and the processing is not needed.

How can I configure the firmware?

Thanks.

Alessandro.

Hi,

I would use the DCA1000EVM and mmWave Studio.

Hi Charles,

Yes I already know DCA1000 and mmWave Studio. We are developing our custom firmware and we wanto to setup the IWR6843 to CW in order to make some tests. Is it possible? Can you give us more indication about it?

There is a document that explain this?

Regards.

Alessandro.
