PRODUCT INFORMATION: DWM1000
Overview of DWM1000 Module
• An IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB compliant wireless transceiver module based on DecaWave’s DW1000 IC
• Allows the location of objects in real time location systems (RTLS) to a precision of 10 cm indoors
• Allows high data rate communications, up to 6.8 Mb/s
• Excellent communications range of up to 300 m thanks to coherent receiver techniques*
• Short packet durations support high tag densities – up to 11,000 in a 20 m radius
• High immunity to multipath fading – allows reliable communications in high fading environments
• Low power consumption allows operation from batteries for long periods*
• Small physical size allows the implementation of cost-effective solutions in RTLS and WSN
• Integrated antenna allows simple product implementation – no RF design required
Key Benefits
• 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
• Long LOS and NLOS range reduces amount
of infrastructure required to deploy systems
• Low power consumption reduces the need
to replace batteries and lowers system
lifetime costs
• Standards based solution (IEEE802.15.4-2011), eases
proliferation
• Low cost allows cost-effective implementation of
solutions
