DWM1000

DWM1000 is a 3.5 - 6.5GHz Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transceiver module. This is an IEEE 802.15.4a UWB implementation. It integrates antenna, all RF circuitry, power management and clock circuitry in one module. It can be used in 2-way ranging or TDOA location systems to locate assets to a precision of 10cm and supports data rates of up to 6.8Mbps. It Integration of DW1000 IC, antenna, power management and clock control simplifies design integration. Very precise location of tagged objects delivers enterprise efficiency gains and cost reductions. The long LOS and NLOS range reduces amount of infrastructure required to deploy systems. Low power consumption reduces need to replace batteries and lowers system lifetime costs. It is optimized for applications in real time location systems and wireless sensor networks across a variety of markets including agriculture, building control and automation, factory automation, healthcare, safety & security, warehousing & logistics and a range of others.

• Excellent communications range of up to 300 m thanks to coherent receiver techniques*
• Short packet durations support high tag densities
