PulsON® 400 RCM: The World’s First Coherent UWB OEM Module

Time Domain’s PulsON® 400 (P400) Ranging and Communications Module (RCM) packs two-way time of flight ranging and communications into a small, low cost, low power OEM module. The P400 RCM provides superior ranging and communications in high multipath environments, where GPS and other tracking systems struggle. To deploy UWB enabled products, you need a cost-effective, easy-to-use, reliable UWB module, which is exactly what you will get with the P400 RCM.

The P400 is ideal for those Ranging / Location / Tracking applications which require:

  • Accurate location measurements (within inches, not feet) – indoors and outdoors
  • Fast update rates (up to 50 Hz) / low latency
  • Longer ranges of operation (hundreds of meters)
  • Simultaneous ranging and communications using the same radio platform
  • Ad-hoc system set-up - no surveying, no cabling, no calibrating
  • Dynamic / moving frames of reference

For those new to UWB, check out our niche to see how the RCM might be help you.

For those experienced with full featured UWB, your wait is over. The P400 RCM includes our latest generation of silicon and represents the culmination of everything we know about UWB.

We are excited about helping you create new UWB enabled products and applications. Contact us today.

Architecture and User Interface

P400 interface diagram

The P400 RCM provides all of the hardware and software controls necessary to enable two-way, targeted time of flight (TOF) ranging and simultaneous communications among many P400 RCMs. The resultant range information can be used to compute the location of each of the P400 RCMs relative to each other. The user communicates with the P400 through a simple, easy-to-use Applications Programming Interface (API) that allows users to develop a tracking and communications network tailored to their target application. The API also provides a number of Media Access Control (MAC) layer support mechanisms.
