The UWB is compatible with IEEE 802.15.4z and the FiRa Consortium PHY, MAC and CCC standard.
Mouser now offers the DWM3001C 8GHz and 6.5GHz UWB Module from Qorvo. This module speeds up IIoT apps for secure bubble environments and access control. Tags, asset tracking, and tags are also possible. This fully integrated module simplifies UWB installations in applications for security and automation systems in warehouses and factories. It is ideal for applications that involve healthcare personnel, patients, retail security and connected homes.
The device is a fully-integrated UWB module for systems that use a low-power microcontroller. It’s also a certified integrated modem (FCC ETSI and IC). The module is designed for high-data-throughput systems. It offers variable data rates from 850kbps up to 6.8Mbps, with a maximum packet size of 1023bytes. The module includes the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52833 Bluetooth low energy SoC, DW3110 Transceiver IC and a planar antenna. It also contains an accelerometer, a power management system, and a crystal.
The module’s RF design has been extensively tested and calibrated to ensure that it consumes minimal power in battery-powered applications. The module can be used in TWR and TDoA applications.
A DWM3001CDK kit is also available from the company, which allows designers to create an assessment RTLS as well as assess hardware performance using a TWR tag or TDoA tag. A J-Link integrated debugger provides SWD and UART ports to the module.
