The KCU100XU is a UWB module featuring a 2T4R multi-antenna transceiver architecture. It complies with the IEEE 802.15.4/802.15.4z HRP standard and supports UWB channels CH5 and CH9. The module enables 3D Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), high-accuracy Two-Way Ranging (TWR), and UWB radar functionalities.
Key Specifications
- Architecture: Features a 2T4R (2 Transmit, 4 Receive) multi-antenna transceiver architecture. This multi-antenna setup makes it highly efficient for calculating accurate 2D and 3D positioning metrics.
- Standards Compliance: Fully compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.4z High-Rate Pulse (HRP) UWB standards, which provide advanced physical-layer security for ranging.
- Hardware Interface: Packaged in an LCC form factor and integrates standard interfaces including SPI and UART for seamless micro-controller communication.
Primary Applications
Because it operates using ultra-short radio pulses to calculate precise Time of Flight (ToF), the module is ideal for:
- Real-time location systems (RTLS) and asset tracking.
- Indoor navigation and localization systems where GPS is unavailable.
- Secure proximity access and hands-free keyless entry systems.
