The UWB technology exploits very short, ultra-wideband pulses to yield supreme position accuracy and high-resolution sensing, while ensuring excellent resilience against narrowband interference and multipath effects.
To fully exploit the potential of this technology in real-life applications, and hence to achieve the precision and the accuracy needed by those applications, it is of major importance that these short ranging pulses remain undistorted in the actual application.
Therefore, our high-performance antenna solutions fulfill at least 6 stringent design requirements:
Ultra-wide bandwith
 |
Our UWB antenna systems are jointly optimized for maximum impedance, gain, and axial-ratio bandwidth, offering multi-UWB-channel support. |
| Our anchor and tag antenna systems guarantee stable radiation patterns within each of the supported UWB channels. Moreover, upon request, we can tailor the radiation pattern to the end user application for improved coverage. |
Stable radiation pattern
 |
High pulse fidelity
 |
By leveraging our unique system level design suite, pulse distortion and phase-center variations are minimized to the bare minimum by jointly optimization in the time, frequency, and spatial domain. This is essential to ensure position information that is independent of the tag’s orientation. |
| Our patented antenna system guarantees near-100-% radiation efficiency in the most compact system footprint, opening new opportunities for unobtrusive integration in a wide variety of end applications. |
High efficiency in compact form factor
 |
Robust performance
 |
By maximizing antenna-to-integration-platform isolation and taking into account remaining integration platform effects, we guarantee first-time-right installed performance. |
| While our UWB antennas provide a standard 50 Ω interface, they offer a wide range of input impedances to enable co-design/optimization of the UWB antenna with the UWB transceiver. This allows reducing the lengths of the RF interconnects to the bare minimum, while maximizing power transfer, minimizing noise figure and pulse distortion. |
