AWR1843BOOST: Enable 3Tx

user5034403

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

Hi,

I want to enable the TX2 to increase the transmitting power. I wonder whether what I need to do is just enabling the TX2 on the mmWave Studio 02.01.01.00. Need I have to change something about the Phase shifter TX2? My goal is just to increase the transmitting power by enabling the extra TX2.

By the way, If I enable the TX2, how much is the power increment?

Hi,

You also need to enable the Tx in the Static Config Menu as mentioned in this thread.

An additional Tx will add 3dB

thank you

Yes. I have enabled the three Tx in the Static config. I just want to know whether the Phase shifter TX2 need to be changed or just keep zero as the Phase shifters of the other two TXs if I want to get the biggest transmitting power?
