What is Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Radar?
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is recognized as a leading technology for accurate, secure, and real-time location, distance, and direction measurements. Beyond its use in ranging, UWB also serves as a sophisticated ambient sensing technology through radar. By utilizing UWB’s broad 500 MHz bandwidth and short 2-nanosecond pulses, it allows precise detection of objects and people. Unlike traditional ranging, UWB radar operates without requiring two devices to communicate; instead, it captures signal reflections with just one device. This makes it a cost-effective and low-power solution. When combined with omni-directional antennas, UWB radar can detect movement in a full 360° field of view, minimizing coverage gaps and ensuring broad area monitoring. Additionally, UWB’s capabilities in ranging and radar can be integrated to enable multifunctional applications such as presence detection and secure authentication.
