Ultra-wideband (UWB, ultra wideband, ultra-wide band and ultraband) is a radio technology that can use a very low energy level for short-range, high-bandwidth communications over a large portion of the radio spectrum. Most recent applications target sensor data collection, precision locating and tracking applications.

Ultra-wideband uses radio waves and started to appear in high-end smartphones. A UWB transmitter sends billions of radio pulses across the wide spectrum frequency and a UWB receiver then translates the pulses into data. UWB pulses can be used to sense distances between two transmitters. The shorter the duration of the impulse, the more precise the distance measurement will be. UWB achieves real-time accuracy because it sends up to 1 billion pulses per second. UWB’s low-power signals cause little interference with other radio transmissions and can effectively measure distance with an accuracy up to 10 cm.

Raltron is proud to present Ceramic Filters, Baluns, Diplexers, and Chip Antennas for the Ultra- wideband.
