The xWR6843AOPEVM includes four receivers and three transmitters with wide field of antennas on the package of the device. The IWR6843AOP and AWR6843AOP operate at a 4-Ghz bandwidth from 60 to 64 GHz, with a maximum output power of 10 dBm and an antenna gain of ~5 dBi.
The xWR6843AOPEVM has been tested in the 60 - 64GHz frequency range across the ambient temperature range of -20°C to 60°C.
In accordance to the EN 62311 RF exposure test, a minimum separation distance of 20 centimeters should be maintained between the user and the EVM during operation.
Refer to the Thermal Design Guide for Antenna on Package mmWave Sensor application note for details of thermal dissipation options for xWR6843 AOP devices, particularly for small form factor designs such as the mission side of the EVM.
The following features are available on the mission AOP board of the xWR6843AOPEVM:
There is a possibility of damage and loss of function to the mission board when it is split. When split, the board cannot be put back together and many features are lost; see the Section 5.1 section for features available on the mission board. Raw data capture, JTAG debug and other features requiring the 60 pin SAMTEC connectors are permanently lost.
