Qorvo's QM33120W is a fully integrated Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless tranceiver. Based on the IEEE802.15.4z standard, the QM33120W implements enhanced security features. QM33120W can achieve data rates of up to 6.8 Mbps while delivering precise positioning to within 10cm for ranging and +/- 5 degrees for angular measurement. The QM33120W transceiver is interoperable with the Apple U1 & U2 chip. The QM33120W is FiRa™ compatible and supports Two-Way Ranging, Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) and Phase Difference of Arrival (PDoA) implementations. Optimized for low-power battery-operated operation, the QM33120W is designed to be used in mobile, consumer, and industrial applications thanks to different small footprint package options and reduced external BOM.

Qorvo's DWM3000EVB is an Arduino form factor compatible shield designed for the evaluation of the DWM3000 ultra-wideband (UWB) module for use in a scalable real time location system (RTLS).
This Arduino shield can be used with the customer's choice of microcontroller. The Arduino shield form factor is supported by many MCU vendors including STMicroelectronics, Nordic Semiconductor and more.
The DWM3000EVB is designed to be compliant to the FiRa™ PHY and MAC specifications enabling interoperability with other FiRa™ compliant devices.
The DWM3000EVB is interoperable with the Apple U1 chip.
Qorvo's DWM3001CDK Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Transceiver Development Kit is a development kit that features the DWM3001C module. This kit can be used to evaluate hardware performance as a TWR or TDoA Tag and build an evaluation real time location system (RTLS).
Two micro USB ports connect to the J-Link and DWM3001C USB interface. An on-board J-Link debugger provides SWD and UART interfaces to the DWM3001C. Two micro USB ports connect to the J-Link and DWM3001C USB interface. The board can be powered from either of these USB ports, a Raspberry Pi interface, a battery or an external power supply.
The DWM3001CDK is interoperable with the Apple U1 chip.
Qorvo's QM33120WDK1 consists of two different daughter boards (AoA and non-AoA) mounted on two Nordic nRF52840 DK evaluation boards. Application firmware development is facilitated by the features of the Nordic boards such as on-board J-Link debugger, USB and Bluetooth® Low Energy interfaces.
The QM33120WDK1 is designed to develop applications compatible with PHY and MAC FiRa™ specifications.
