IWR6843AOP: The antenna gain of IWR6843AOP

Guru 16800 points
Part Number: IWR6843AOP

Hello,

We need the antenna gain information of IWR6843AOP.
In data sheet, the unit of "dB" is used in the figures of "5.10.1 Antenna Radiation Patterns".
Does the unit mean "dBi" in actual fact?
Also, if you have additional information for the antenna gain of IWR6843AOP, could you share the information to us?

Best Regards,
Nomo

  • HI, Nomo:

    Antenna gain is ~5.2dBi, It’s shown below in our TIREX: dev.ti.com/.../node

    However, this parameter is not much use to customer, what is most important information is EIRP that combines Tx output power with Antenna gain together, And in AOP we cannot separate these two, Hence Antenna gain in isolation is not mentioned in the datasheet.

    In the Antenna gain pattern, what important is the relative gain change cross different angles.
