INSCRIPTION MANUAL [DWM 1000]
The DWM 1000 module is based on Decawave’s DW 1000 Ultra Wideband (UWB) transceiver IC. 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 6.8 Mbps
Key Features
IEEE 802.15.4-2011 UWB compliant
Supports 4 RF bands from 3.5GHz 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 2.8V to 3.6V
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 features
Supports 2-way ranging and TDOA
SPI interface to host processor
23mm x 13mm x 2.9 mm 24pin 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 minimizes 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
Precision real time location systems (RTLS) using two-way ranging or TDOA schemes in a variety of markets.
Location aware wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
