To fully understand the value and impact that Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology delivers, we need to look at the big picture. Here we chart the evolution of location technologies, how UWB is shaping the landscape and forging a new path to the future. Learn about the potential for this exciting new technology.

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, with its excellent positioning and sensing capabilities, is exhibiting clear signs of becoming a principal element in the transformation of connectivity experiences across all aspects of life

Systems and methods include up-converting a UWB frequency pulse from a UWB radar unit to a V band frequency pulse; transmitting the V band frequency pulse via an active array antenna; receiving a V band echo pulse via the active array antenna; down-converting the V band echo pulse from the active array antenna to a UWB pulse; and feeding the UWB pulse to the UWB radar unit for processing by the UWB radar unit. A V band antenna system includes: an antenna board that defines an antenna plane being the plane of the board and comprising a plurality of antenna elements; a mother board providing a corporate combining feed to the antenna board; and a power management board to which the antenna board and mother board are mounted perpendicularly to the antenna plane, wherein the antenna elements provide a beam forming antenna for ultra wide band pulses at V band frequencies.

An iPhone or another remote control may one day take advantage of Ultra Wideband to provide users with information about nearby devices or change what controls are available, simply by pointing it at different things.

Some embodiments include a system and method for enabling communicating Ultra Wideband (UWB) devices to collaborate by exchanging pulse shape information. The UWB devices use the pulse shape information to improve ranging accuracy. The improved ranging accuracy can be used in complex multipath environments where advanced estimation schemes are used to extract an arriving path for time-of-flight estimation. To determine the pulse shape information to be shared, some embodiments include determining location information of a UWB device and selecting the pulse shape information that satisfies regional aspects. The pulse shape information includes a time-zero index specific to a ranging signal that is used by UWB receivers to establish timestamps time-of-flight calculations. Some embodiments include measuring performance characteristics and selecting different pulse shape information based on the performance characteristics for improved accuracy.

Ultra wideband location technology can pinpoint your Apple AirTag or unlock your car as you walk up to it with your phone. Google and Samsung are big fans.

Methods and systems are disclosed for ultra-wideband (UWB) secure wireless device pairing. Secure pairing between devices for secure UWB communications is conducted over in-band UWB communications to provide secure pairing without requiring a visual confirmation through a graphical user interface (GUI), in particular, for wireless personal area network (WPAN) communications. The secure in-band pairing of wireless UWB devices over a UWB radio link provides considerable advantages over prior secure pairing techniques.

An Apple patent published Thursday has revealed Apple is exploring the possibility of using Ultra Wideband technology and modular wall units to improve room-by-room functionality of HomeKit.

Dimension4 uses UWB technology to deliver industrial-scale solutions that pin-point the true 3D location of critical assets.

Compared to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, ultra-wideband technology provides enhanced accuracy, positioning and radio frequency security.

Learn how Ultra-Wideband (UWB) can pinpoint location and distance with centimeter precision — making it a great fit for COVID-19 contact tracing and many other new applications.

A compact ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is proposed in this paper. For compactness reasons, the antenna is studied in order to be integrated on a chip packaging. In addition, a special attention has been given to design an antenna with unidirectional radiation patterns. This antenna provides broadband characteristics and unidirectional radiation patterns over the whole 7.4-8.4 GHz frequency band.

In this paper, a compact ultra wideband bandpass filter has been newly designed and implemented by embedding all the passive components into an organic packaging substrate for compact 3.1 - 4.75 GHz UWB system applications. In order to reduce a size of the filter and avoid unwanted EM coupling among the embedded filter circuit elements, it was designed by using a modified 3rd cehbyshev circuit topology and J-inverter transformation technology. It was comprised of three shunt-type LC resonators, two capacitance J-inverters, two extra transmission zero inductors, and one extra transmission ze...
