Understanding UWB Technology: What It Is and How It Works

Understanding UWB Technology: What It Is and How It Works

About This Training

Developers have been actively seeking a precise ranging technology capable of delivering accurate outdoor and indoor localization. Ultra-wideband’s (UWB) ability to process contextual information such as the position, the movement and the distance between UWB devices with an unprecedented precision of a few centimeters, adds spatial awareness to the system. To understand the potential of UWB, it is important to consider the technology’s unique characteristics in terms of bandwidth, signal propagation, time of flight and angle of arrival measurement. Get a technical insight into how UWB works, standardization efforts and NXP’s unique UWB portfolio.
