DWM3001C

The Qorvo® DWM3001C is a fully integrated UWB transceiver module based on the Qorvo DW3110 IC. Integration of the DW3110 IC, nRF52833 MCU, planar UWB antenna, accelerometer, power management and crystal simplify the design cycle. The RF design is fully validated, tested, and calibrated. Low power consumption allows powering from batteries for extended periods, providing cost-effective implementation of UWB solutions.
The DWM3001C can be used in two-way ranging and TDoA applications.
The DWM3001C is designed to be compliant to the FiRa™ PHY and MAC specifications enabling interoperability with other FiRa™ compliant devices.
