Qorvo’s second-generation, fully integrated
Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless transceiver is
NOW AVAILABLE
Based on the IEEE802.15.4z standard, the DW3000 can achieve data rates of up to 6.8Mbps while delivering precise positioning to within 10 cm for ranging and +/-5 degrees for angular measurement while being optimized for low-power battery-operated operation.
The DW3000 is FiRa compliant and supports 2-way ranging, Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) and Phase Difference of Arrival (PDoA) implementations.
The DW3000 family of products is designed to be used in mobile, consumer, and industrial applications thanks to different small footprint packages options and reduced external BOM.
Key Features
