1 Introduction The Modular Ubitag V3.0 is a wireless module intended to be integrated into other devices for the real-time location of objects. It transmits wideband pulses which are picked up by a network of basestations (Ubisensors), allowing the 3D position of the tag to be found. The use of wideband technology enables greater positioning accuracy within buildings than other wireless technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath interference effects.
2 Regulatory Information for Europe Hereby, Ubisense declares that this Modular Ubitag V3.0 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity for this equipment may be obtained from: Ubisense St. Andrew's House St. Andrews Road Chesterton Cambridge CB4 1DL United Kingdom This UWB transmitter must not be installed at a fixed outdoor location or used in flying models, aircraft and other forms of aviation.

4 Integration information The dimensions of the module PCB are shown below: Ub 24.5mm 20mm 24.5mm ise ns e 20mm 2.1mm 4.5mm 1.6mm 3mm When mounting the tag on another device care must be taken to avoid occlusion of the antennas by tall components, shielding, or mounting screws. There should be an air gap of at least 1mm left around both of the antennas to avoid detuning. While the connector provides some mechanical fixing it is not recommended that this is the only fixing point.
