Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a short-range, wireless communication protocol that operates through radio waves, enables secure reliable ranging and precision sensing, creating a new dimension of spatial context for wireless devices. It is widely in indoor position/ tracking. In field application, the most problem of UWB is the signal mutual conflicts/interference, that when there multiple anchor& tags exists.

That is why the MaUWB module exists, this module is designed specially for indoor distance measurement between multiple anchors& tags, based on STM32 controller and DW3000, with antenna/PA/LNA on board, it features:

• AT Command& Serial Output: This module runs Makerfabs default firmware that output directly distance measurement results among multiple anchors(max 8)& tags(max 64), without users to deal with the complicated spec/factors in using them. Users can also set simply setting via AT command, such as the antenna delay/sleep

• Long range: With on-board PA/LNA, the max distance at least 300m
• Roles Setting: each MaUWB can be set as anchor or tag by AT command
• Easy to work with any controller: with it simple output, it can work with any controller such as Arduino/Raspberry PI.

Specifications:

• Comply with IEEE802.15.4-2011 ultra-wideband standard;
