1.3.1 Block Diagram

Figure 2-1 shows the functional block diagram. The mission board (sensor area) side contains the essential components for the TI radar system namely Crystal Oscillator, Serial FLASH and TI mmWave Radar chip. The expandable area contains the Power Distribution Network, on board XDS110 USB to UART converter, FTDI chip, 60-pin connector for interfacing with the DCA1000EVM.
