ULP IR-UWB Radio
Ultra Low Power Impulse Radio UWB Transceiver for Localization and streaming applications.
| Macro Name | ULP IR-UWB Radio |
| Type | Hard IP |
| Short Description(max 128 characters) | Ultra Low Power Impulse Radio UWB Transceiver for Localization and streaming applications |
| Extra description (optional) | Imec offers a white-box IP license with support on a Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) operates in the bandwidth between 6 and 9GHz. The radio is compliant to the IEEE802.15.4a and features proprietary modes that enhance the low power performance. The pulse based communication enables a very scalable air interface in terms of data rate, power consumption, latency, etc. Data rates range from 110 kbps to 27 Mbps. IR-UWB enables very low power transmitter design, the radio also features a low power implementation of the receiver. A complete radio is offered, including the RF front-end and digital baseband, algorithms for low power frequency tracking, synchronization and localization, proprietary antennas as well as a source code for the HW drivers for demonstration purposes. |
