QM33120W
Fully Integrated Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Wireless Transceiver
Qorvo's QM33120W is a fully integrated Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless tranceiver. Based on the IEEE802.15.4z standard, the QM33120W implements enhanced security features. QM33120W can achieve data rates of up to 6.8 Mbps while delivering precise positioning to within 10cm for ranging and +/- 5 degrees for angular measurement. The QM33120W transceiver is interoperable with the Apple U1 & U2 chip. The QM33120W is FiRa™ compatible and supports Two-Way Ranging, Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) and Phase Difference of Arrival (PDoA) implementations. Optimized for low-power battery-operated operation, the QM33120W is designed to be used in mobile, consumer, and industrial applications thanks to different small footprint package options and reduced external BOM.
