Molecule DWM3000 UWB is a breakout board which houses the DWM3000, a fully integrated Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transceiver module based on the Qorvo® DW3110 IC. It integrates antenna, all RF circuitry, power management and clock circuitry in one module. It 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. The DWM3000 is also designed to be compliant to the FiRa™ PHY and MAC specifications enabling interoperability with other FiRa™ devices including Apple U1/U2. The molecule also incorporates 2 LED’s that can be configured to output on RX/TX of UWB ranging packets.
