7.8 Overriding the TX Power Calibration LUT

The LUT used for TX power calibration can be read back using the rlTxGainTempLutGet function. This returns the lookup table that is applied for TX power calibration for a given profile. The function should only be called after the profile has been configured in the device.

The LUT structure is described in the AWR1xx Radar Interface Control document. The LUT for a given profile consists of a set of 19 TX gain codes for each TX, with each code corresponding to a particular 10 degree temperature bin. Each TX gain code is a 6-bit number with higher values corresponding to higher gain.

If the CLPC mode is enabled, then the entries in the LUT may be updated automatically by the device as a consequence of run time calibration.

The rlTxGainTempLutSet function can be used to replace the LUT used by the device for TX power calibration with a different set of gain codes. This function should be called once for each profile for which the LUT needs to be replaced. This function should only be called after the profile has been configured in the device.
