White Paper Overview
The increasing integration of ultra-wideband (UWB) into consumer electronics, automotive systems and industrial applications is driving the evolution of UWB standards. To support new applications such as precision ranging, secure access and advanced sensing, IEEE has initiated enhancements to the UWB physical and MAC layers under the IEEE 802.15.4ab standard, which increase performance while maintaining compatibility with previous iterations.
Explore the technical advancements introduced in IEEE 802.15.4ab, such as enhanced modulation schemes, dynamic data rate adaptation, multi-millisecond ranging techniques and new capabilities for radar-based sensing, enabling future applications like vital sign detection, immersive multimedia sharing and ultra-low-power wake-up radios.
