3.11 TX Phase Shifter Calibration

Some of the MMICs from TI allow configuration of the transmit phase in steps of 5.625 deg, and there are 64 code settings available to cover the 0 to 360 deg phase shift. To provide accurate phase shift corresponding to each of the codes (5.625 deg * code), the phase sifters can be calibrated at RF INIT using the RF loopback structures. This is mostly at boot time. The AWR294x also provides a run time calibration for the phase shifters, then does internal compensation for temperature change.

To include correction across temperature and including additional external calibration by the user for better accuracy, refer to the Cascade Coherency and Phase Shifter Calibration application note.
