Description for the IWR6843
The IWR6x43 device is an integrated single chip mmWave sensor based on FMCW radar technology capable of operation in the 60GHz to 64GHz band. It is built with TI’s low power 45nm RFCMOS process and enables unprecedented levels of integration in an extremely small form factor. This device is an ideal solution for low power, self-monitored, ultra-accurate radar systems in the industrial space. Multiple variants are currently available including Functional Safety-Compliant devices and non-functional safety devices.
