1.1 Introduction

The AWR2188EVM is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the AWR2188 mmWave sensing device with direct connectivity to the DCA2000EVM. Included is a 16x16 3D waveguide antenna enabling a 256 channel virtual array for increased range and resolution. In conjunction with the DCA2000EVM capture card and TI's mmWave Studio IDE, the AWR2188EVM contains everything needed to for easy evaluation of the next generation of high performance front end sensors.

Note:

The AWR2188EVM is designed to be mounted to the companion DCA2000EVM host/capture board. The combination AWR2188EVM + DCA2000EVM is controlled vai a host PC over Ethernet and USB interfaces using TI's mmWave Studio IDE.

For more information on assembling, powering, and configuring the two-board AWR2188EVM + DCA2000EVM system, please refer to the DCA2000EVM User Guide.
