4.2 TI Reference Design about Radar

TIDA-010254 demonstrates the use of a battery powered IWRL6432 60GHz mmWave radar with a sub-1 GHz or Bluetooth® 5.2 wireless communication.

Two boards are designed for communication between the IWRL6432 60GHz mmWave radar and the CC1352R1 wireless part, shown in Figure 4-4. The PCB board size of IWRL6432 module is 41mm × 21mm, which can be ordered on IWRL6432FSPEVM. For details of schematic and layout design, see the design files of IWRL6432FSPEVM and design guide of TIDA-010254.

TIDA-010967 demonstrates the low-cost and low-power capabilities of IWRL6432AOP mmWave sensor. The design supports interfaces with connectivity devices through the use of castellated pins or 1.27mm-pitch connectors. This design uses a UART-to-USB converter for flashing the firmware and running the demonstration. The reference design is developed with FR4 material using a two-layer PCB stackup.
