radino40 DW1000
Hardware
The In-Circuit radino40 DW1000 combines Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52840 microcontroller and Decawave's DW1000 UWB radio chip in a small form-factor EMC-compliant module.
The DW1000 is a fully integrated single chip Ultra Wideband (UWB) low-power low-cost transceiver IC compliant to IEEE802.15.4-2011.
It can be used in 2-way ranging or TDOA location systems to locate assets to a precision of 10 cm. It supports data transfer at rates up to 6.8 Mbps.
The Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52840 with 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4 CPU with FPU, 64 MHz Clock, 1Mb flash, 256 kB RAM offers great performance and Bluetooth 5 functionality. The radino40 modules are pin-to-pin compatible.
With its powerful processor, the DW1000 UWB-chip and its small size, the radino40 DW1000 is the perfect base for RTLS-systems
