Overview

The AWR2243BOOST is an evaluation board for the AWR2243 second-generation high-performance mmWave radar sensor operating in the 76-GHz to 81-GHz band. It provides a modular platform for testing automotive-grade radar capabilities including range, velocity, and angle-of-arrival sensing. The board features an onboard antenna and provides access to raw ADC data through a high-speed 60-pin connector.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a 40-pin LaunchPad standard interface for easy integration into the TI ecosystem and supports raw ADC data streaming over CSI-2 or high-speed debug interfaces. It includes an integrated antenna design and backchannel UART via USB for simplified PC-based debugging and data analysis.

Applications

Automotive ADAS
Evaluation of radar functions for automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
Blind Spot Detection
Testing high-resolution spatial sensing for vehicle side-impact and lane-change assistance.
Autonomous Navigation
Used as a primary sensor for obstacle detection and environment mapping in autonomous driving platforms.

Getting Started

Connect the board to a PC via the micro-USB port for UART communication and power it using a 5V center-positive barrel jack. Engineers should use the TI mmWave Studio software for sensor configuration and data visualization. For raw ADC data capture, an external DCA1000EVM data capture card is recommended to interface with the 60-pin HD connector.
