Data brief

Evaluation kit for the B-UWB-MOD1 ultra-wideband module

Features
• Module evaluation kit for the B-UWB-MOD1 ultra-wideband (UWB) module
• Prototyping, evaluation and demonstration of indoor location systems
• From 4 to 60 boards per location system
• Range up to 600 m in LoS (line of sight)
• Precision down to 10 cm
• Measurement rate: adjustable, up to 250 per second
• 105 × 75 × 98 mm (PCB and antenna)
• Data acquisition: UART on USB
• Power supply: USB or external battery connection (5 V / 200 mA)

Description
The B-UWB-MEK1 module evaluation kit is designed to test advanced positioning
and tracking technology in real conditions, or to be directly embedded into a ready-to-
use indoor location system.
B-UWB-MEK1 includes Evaluation boards equipped with the STM32-based B-UWB-
MOD1 UWB module used as fixed or as mobile devices. Use from four up to sixty
boards to prototype a location system.
B-UWB-MEK1 represents an affordable and user-friendly solution for 1D
measurement as well as 3D positioning. Experiment further with B-UWB-MEK1 to
address indoor real‑time locating systems (RTLS) for large amounts, such as multi-
Picture is not contractual. tag tracking and GPS‑like positioning.
Deploy B-UWB-MEK1-based indoor location in such applications as warehouse
automation, automated guided vehicle (AGV), drone control, robot positioning, or
in-factory navigation.
