Description
UWC.01 is a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) chip antenna designed for embedded devices requiring reliable performance across common pulsed UWB commercial bands (Channels 5–7). Its small ceramic form factor supports cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing using standard SMT reflow processes.
- Wide UWB coverage: supports UWB Channels 5–7 for regional UWB applications in Europe and the USA
- Compact embedded design: small chip format for space-constrained products
- Durable construction: ceramic antenna for robust integration
- Typical use cases: automotive sensors, smart airbags, precision surveying, smart home and entertainment systems, and centimeter-level positioning
This antenna is also suitable for UWB positioning/location and tracking designs and is compatible with modules such as the Decawave ScenSor DW1000, as well as other UWB sensor modules.
Installation / Environmental
Like all such antennas, care should be taken to mount the antenna at least 3mm from metal components or surfaces, and ideally 5mm for best Radiation efficiency. Minimum recommended ground plane size is 25 mm x 13 mm, and antenna to ground clearance is fixed to 0.3 mm and should not be changed (please see section 7. Application Note).
