IWR6843ISK: Antenna Board Interference with connector

Jay Banwait1

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST,

Hi,

I am seeing an issue with the radar evaluation kit : The antenna board IWR6843ISK, when mounted on the MMWAVEICBOOST board, interferes with the 60 pin HD connector to the

data acquisition card. I can not find any reference to this in the support forum.

Is it possible to run without the data acquisition card?

Jay,

Ok understood your concern.

The new version of the ISK is designed in such a manner that, it' doesn't have to be connected to mmWaveICBOOST to connect to the DCA1000 hardware, it could be directly plugged into DCA1000 board!

This should simplify the effort needed for Raw ADC capture by providing dedicated 60 pin connector for DCA1000 board interface.

For more details please refer to the EVM userguide section 3.
