    Collective Technologies and Resources

    Now as part of Qorvo, there will be scale and additional resources for semiconductor solutions, software, modules and reference designs that enable real-time, ultra-accurate, ultra-reliable local area micro-location services.

    The blending of the two companies' technologies and resources means access to:

    • Integrated, multi-protocol solutions, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE), Zigbee and Thread – reducing time-to-market
    • Filters to eliminate or minimize undesired interference between bands and wireless standards of other applications in the same device or externally
    • Switches that allow device makers to design 3D Angle of Arrival solutions enabling Peer-to-Peer location awareness
    • Manufacturing capabilities and other resources

    WHAT IS ULTRA-WIDEBAND?

    Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4a and 802.15.4z standards that can enable a more precise measure of the Time of Flight of the radio signal, leading to centimeter accuracy distance/location measurement.


    In addition to this unique capability, UWB offers data communication capability up to 27 Mbps, while using extremely little energy – enabling coin cell operation for years without needing to be recharged or replaced. By combining accurate location and communication, UWB also offers a new way of securely communicating over wireless, opening the door to new forms of secure transactions.

    ULTRA-WIDEBAND APPLICATIONS

    Ultra-wideband delivers the “where” to enable contextual decision making, reduced operating costs, increased safety, and greater security for data communication and assets. The technology capabilities have opened the door to a broad range of applications, such as:


    Mobile / Mobile Accessories enabling keyless entry, secure payments, enhance navigation and find my device


    Automotive where distance-bounding protocols are used to build secure communications between the key fob and the car to avoid car theft


    Connected homes to control smart devices based on the location of people


    Buildings to deliver turn-by-turn navigation services


    Factories to improve operational efficiencies or improve personnel safety


    Sports to deliver real-time performance analytics


    Drones for flight control

    HOW ULTRA-WIDEBAND TECHNOLOGY WORKS

    UWB leverages Time of Flight (ToF), which is a method for measuring the distance between two radio transceivers by multiplying the Time of Flight of the signal by the speed of light. From this basic principle, UWB technology can be implemented in different ways based on the target applications needs: Two Way Ranging, Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), or Phase Difference of Arrival (PDoA).
