Hi All

Is it possible to use high frequency AWR1642-AWR1843 chip in long range radar application such as ultralight airplane( increase the antena gain)?

Hi,

The usual max range of AWR1642 goes around 100m and 180m for AWR1843 (these values are based on EVM). But by using high gain antenna this can increase by other tens of meters (depending on antenna used).

Regards,

Jitendra

Thanks for your reply , I'm thinking about a range like 10-15 km which is enough for ultralight airplane, can you please refer me to possible TI gain enhancement documents or development boards

Hello,

To cover 10KM of range you need to use a different kind of high-performance radar or Lidar. I'm afraid that TI mmwave sensor can not help with this range requirement.
