DWM1001C is a radio technology that utilizes the DW1000 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transceiver IC, which is compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4a standard for UWB implementation. This module integrates a UWB (Channel 5) and Bluetooth® antenna, a Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 microcontroller, and a motion sensor.
It is known for its ability to transmit high-bandwidth data over short distances, using minimal amounts of energy. It operates across a broad range of the radio spectrum, making it highly versatile and ideal for various applications. This technology is a cost-effective and efficient solution for communication needs within close proximity.
The DWM1001-DEV is a development board specifically designed for the DWM1001C module. It features an integrated Jlink, providing a convenient solution for development and debugging.
Applications that require precise positioning include, but are not limited to:
- Hospitals for emergency response and patient care.
- Peer-to-peer fine ranging for precise distance measurement.
- Real-time location systems for navigation and asset tracking.
This project contains C++ examples that demonstrate how to interface with the DWM1001-DEV board through a UART protocol with a Linux-based OS using the Standard C POSIX library. The Eigen3 Library is used to ensure smooth geolocation data acquisition by implementing a Kalman Filter for noise reduction. The examples within this project leverage ROS for potential use in state estimation and navigation applications.
