4 TX Backoff and RX Gain Recommendations

Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 give the maximum allowed RX gain setting and minimum TX backoff restrictions based on chirp slope (X-axis) and HPF setting (different colors). These are recommendations which minimize the effects of increased receiver noise figure and risk of receiver ADC saturation.

TX backoff restriction can be relaxed as shown in Figure 4-3 for the following cases:

  • Chirps contained within 61 to 63.5GHz for two TX applications
  • Chirps contained within 59 to 63.5GHz for single TX applications (using TX2)

Using the previously-shown constraints makes sure that the best possible SNR is achieved and also the receiver ADC is not saturated.
