mmWaveICBoost and Antenna Module
• Angular resolution is defined as how far apart two objects must be (in angle) for them to be detected
as separate objects. It is different from angular accuracy, which is how accurately the angle of an
object is detected.
• 6-dB beam width of resultant pattern due to TX and RX combination
