[[y! Angular Resolution vs Angular Accuracy
Angular resolution is defined as how far apart two objects need to be
(in degrees) for them to be detected as different/separate objects. It is
different from ‘Angular Accuracy’ which is how accurately the angle of an
object is detected.

# TI mmWave Antennas
The mmWave Antennas collection is an easy-to-search repository of different
mmWave antennas put together by the TI mmWave team.
TI-designed antennas are available to get started reusing the stack-up and
layout for the same antenna for your application.
Each antenna design is validated as a part of a board design. Depending on
your application, you can choose an antenna from the table below. Please
click on the respective row below to get details about it.
