The DWM1000 is an IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB compliant wireless transceiver module based on Decawave’s DW1000 IC.This module enables the location of objects in real time location systems (RTLS) to a precision of 10cm indoors, high data rate communications up to 6.8 Mbps, and excellent communications range of up to 300m thanks to coherent receiver techniques.
Key Features
• IEEE 802.15.4-2011 UWB compliant
• Supports 4 RF bands from 3.5 GHz to 6.5 GHz
• Programmable transmitter output power
• Fully coherent receiver for maximum range and accuracy
• Designed to comply with FCC & ETSI UWB spectral masks
• Supply voltage 2.8 V to 3.6 V
• Low power consumption
• Data rates of 110 kbps, 850 kbps, 6.8 Mbps
• Maximum packet length of 1023 bytes for high data throughput applications
• Integrated MAC support
• Supports 2-way ranging and TDOA
• SPI interface to host processor
• 23 mm x 13 mm x 2.9 mm 24-pin side castellation package
Key Benefits
• Simplifies integration, no RF design required
• Very precise location of tagged objects delivers enterprise efficiency gains and cost reductions
• Extended communications range minimises required infrastructure in RTLS
• High multipath fading immunity
• Supports very high tag densities in RTLS
• Low cost allows cost-effective implementation of solutions
• Low power consumption reduces the need to replace batteries and lowers system lifetime costs
Applications
