Qorvo Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology

Qorvo Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology expands the possibilities within mobile, automotive, industrial, and consumer IoT applications. Impulse radio UWB technology enables centimeter-accurate distance/location measurement and secure low-power, low-latency data communication. UWB is based on the IEEE 802.15.4a and 802.15.4z standards and delivers a highly accurate measurement of radio signals' Time of Flight.

UWB allows additional resources for semiconductor solutions, software, modules, and reference designs that enable real-time, ultra-accurate, ultra-reliable local area micro-location services.

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.
