Humatics is pioneering microlocation technology, offering millimeter- and centimeter-scale positioning that is faster, more precise, and affordable than any existing 3D positioning or location tracking technology on the market. Our breakthrough microlocation system and anaTime Domain’s PulsON® OEM modules offer users the ability to integrate high performance ranging / tracking, radar, and sensor communications into new or existing products. The key is our Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology. Our UWB uses the coherent transmission of sequences of short duration, low duty cycle, low energy RF pulses to provide superior ranging and sensing capabilities at the small size and low cost that you need to be successful.
How does Time Domain’s UWB work?
Our UWB technology is characterized by the following:
- Short duration pulses.
- Waveform is optimized for precision measurements.
- Pulses are coded and modulated.
- Coherent processing.
- Custom silicon.
Time Domain’s UWB is based on the coherent transmission and reception of very short duration (thus wide bandwidth) RF waveforms.
Because the transmitted waveform is short, with a physical length of approximately 6 inches, it is ideal for determining precise ranges and radar resolution in buildings or outdoors.
All transmissions are pseudo-randomly coded and modulated by individually varying the phase of transmitted pulses and the pulse repetition rate.
Any type of transmitted information (ranging, data, or radar) is spread over many transmitted pulses in a packet format.
All of the key UWB RF functions have been reduced to a single custom chip.
