AWR2243: Tx Power Specification: Per channel or Total form all 4 channels

Part Number: AWR2243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843, AWR1243

The AWR family of datasheet specifies transmit power. In the case of the AWR2243 and AWR1843 that support simultaneous Tx, the AWR2243 state the Tx power is 13 dBm. Is that 13 dBm for the AWR2243 per channel or is that the total for all three channels combined?

Got the title wrong, obviously, I ment 3 channels, not 4.

Hi,

I think the AWR1243 datasheet has more details. Please see

Hello,

All RF specifications are per channel. The gain got from beam forming (using multiple Tx) or antenna is separate and needs to be computed separately based on the user configuration and PCB.
