1. This section describes the UWB module
1. What is the UWB protocol module
UWB stands for ultra-wideband technology. The UWB protocol module is a module that integrates UWB technology into the chip. It can realize high speed, short distance, low power consumption and high reliability wireless communication. The UWB protocol module can be used in smart home, intelligent logistics, automatic driving and other fields.
2. Development history of the UWB protocol module
UWB technology originated in the early 1990s. UWB technology was originally developed as a military communication technology. In 1994, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued Regulation 15.247, allowing UWB technology to be used in the ISM band (3.1GHz to 10.6GHz). This decision is considered a major turning point in the development of UWB technology. With the continuous improvement of technology, UWB technology began to be applied to the commercial market.
3. Advantages of the UWB module
The UWB protocol module has the following advantages:
a. High speed: UWB transmission speed is fast, high accuracy can reach Gbps level.
b. Short range: The UWB signal beam is narrow, can be accurately positioned, and is suitable for small-range communication.
c. Low power consumption: The power consumption of UWB communication is very low, which is conducive to the extension of battery life.
d. High reliability: UWB signal strength changes slowly with distance, and has strong resistance to interference and multipath signals.
2. Application fields of the UWB protocol module
1. Smart home
Smart home refers to the intelligent home system that uses modern scientific and technological means to achieve convenience, comfort, safety and other functions in the family environment. The UWB protocol module can realize high-speed, low-consumption and highly reliable communication between smart home devices. For example, intelligent devices such as smart door locks and smart lamps can achieve high-speed, low-consumption and highly reliable data transmission and communication through the UWB protocol module, improving the experience and convenience of smart homes.
2. Intelligent logistics
Intelligent logistics refers to the logistics process information, digital, the use of a new generation of information technology, through intelligent technology means, improve logistics efficiency and service quality, reduce logistics costs a model. The UWB protocol module can realize the intelligent operation in the logistics warehouse management system, such as real-time monitoring of goods transportation and item inventory. At the same time, when the UWB protocol module is applied to the parcel distribution, it can also improve the delivery efficiency and accuracy.
3. Autonomous driving
Autonomous driving technology refers to the vehicle based on high-tech equipment (such as lidar, cameras, sensors, etc.) to achieve autonomous perception, intelligent decision-making, driving control, coordination and interaction, workshop interconnection and a series of intelligent operations. In the field of autonomous driving, the UWB protocol module can achieve high-precision and low-power positioning and communication services, providing important support for vehicles to achieve efficient and safe autonomous driving.
Third, the technical principle of UWB protocol module
1. UWB technology overview
UWB technology is a communication technology using ultra-short pulse width electromagnetic waves, whose emission mode is a short pulse train (Gaussian peak pulse). UWB technology has the advantages of wide range and anti-interference.
2. Technical structure of UWB protocol module
The UWB protocol module typically includes an RF front end, a digital signal processor, and an embedded control system. The RF front-end is mainly responsible for the transmission and reception of UWB signals, the digital signal processor is mainly responsible for the digital processing of UWB signals, and the embedded control system is mainly responsible for the control and management of UWB protocol modules.
3. Signal processing of UWB protocol module
