DWM3000 Series Antenna

QorvoDWM3000 modules integrate an antenna, all RF circuitry, power management, and clock circuitry in one module, simplifying integration. Based on the DW3110 ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver IC, the DWM3000 can be used in 2-way ranging or TDoA location systems to locate assets to a precision of 10 cm and supports data rates of up to 6.8 Mbps. It is IEEE 802.15.4a and IEEE 802.15.4z BPRF mode compliant with worldwide UWB support through its operation on UWB channel 5 (6.5 GHz) and channel 9 (8 GHz).

The DWM3000 module is pin and size compatible with Qorvo's DWM1000. In addition, its channel 5 operation is compatible with DWM1000. The module is interoperable with the Apple U1 and U2 chip. Designed to be compliant with the FiRa™ PHY and MAC specifications, enabling interoperability with other FiRa-compliant devices.

Qorvo also designed the DWM3000EVB with an Arduino Uno Shield form factor for use in scalable real-time location systems (RTLS). This Arduino shield can be used with the user's choice of microcontroller. The Arduino shield form factor is supported by many MCU vendors, including STMicroelectronics, Nordic Semiconductor, and others.
