Product Overview

The Qorvo® DWM3001C is a fully integrated UWB transceiver

module based on the Qorvo DW3110 IC. Integration of the

DW3110 IC, nRF52833 MCU, planar UWB antenna,

accelerometer, power management and crystal simplify the

design cycle. The RF design is fully validated, tested, and

calibrated. Low power consumption allows powering from

batteries for extended periods, providing cost-effective

implementation of UWB solutions.

The DWM3001C can be used in two-way ranging and TDoA

applications.

The DWM3001C is designed to be compliant to the FiRa™ PHY

and MAC specifications enabling interoperability with other

FiRa™ compliant devices.
