AWR1243BOOST: AWR1243BOOST

Part Number: AWR1243BOOST

We are planning on using the AWR1243BOOST evaluation board as a passive radiometer at 60GHz for measuring internal temperature of a human with a Drexel University research project.  A transmit signal would only interfere with the process.  My question is:  How can I use this evaluation board without a transmit signal?

    Hi,

    This board would run at 77GHz. Is this what is needed?

    Thank you

    77GHz would be just fine.  Anything in the approximate area of 80GHz will work fine.  

    However, my questions still is unanswered:

    We are planning on using the AWR1243BOOST evaluation board as a passive radiometer between 76-GHz to 81-GHz for measuring internal temperature of a human with a Drexel University research project.  A transmit signal would only interfere with the process.  My question is:  How can I use this evaluation board without a transmit signal?

    Hi,

    Have you worked with the AWR1243BOOST before? Are you familiar with configuring the board?

    The AWR1243BOOST can't be used standalone and requires a host to configure it

    thank you

    Have not worked with these boards before.  I assumed all I needed was the two boards, a frame to hold them, a power supply and a computer to be the host via the USB interface.  Do I need more than that?  I assumed that configuring the board would be a significant learning process with a fair amount of trial and error but would be happy to receive any help I can get.
