This New Product Brief (NPB) is part of a video series highlighting the features, applications, and technical specs of newly-released products.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS IWR6843AOPEVM Antenna-on-Package (AoP) EVM

Texas Instruments’ IWR6843AOPEVM Antenna-on-Package Evaluation Module allows developers to experiment with and evaluate TI’s intelligent mmWave sensor that uses integrated antenna-on-package technology. 

The board is based on the IWR6843AOP single-chip 60GHz to 64GHz mmWave sensor, which integrates 4 receiver and 3 transmitter antennas on the package for a 120° x 120° field of view. AoP technology reduces system complexity and size while eliminating board routing loss for better range performance. 

The EVM has a USB interface for power and access to point cloud data. It also has a 60-pin high-speed host interface or can be paired with the MMWAVEICBOOST board for additional functionality and interfacing to the TI MCU LaunchPad ecosystem. The kit is supported by TI’s mmWave tools, including mmWave Studio and the mmWave SDK.
