MK UWB Kit RTLS

The reference design and development platform for indoor UWB RTLS solutions based on TDoA.

TDoA can be used to determine a device position by measuring the time it takes for a UWB signal to be received at several fixed anchor devices placed in the monitored environment.

Experience firsthand the numerous advantages of UWB for real-time positioning and use the tools and examples included in the kit to kick-start the development of your own RTLS solution based on NXP’s Trimension^TM UWB ICs.

Experience how to track one or more UWB-enabled tags using fixed anchor devices leveraging on TDoA-based real-time positioning and leverage on our software demo to experience first-hand the capabilities of the technology.

• MK UWB Anchor RTLS, as the back bone infraestructure of the RTLS system to track UWB tag devices
• UWB Tag SR040, acting as tracked devices in the RTLS infraestructure
• MK UWB RTLS demo collects the TDoA data from the anchors and executes the multilateration algorithm to compute the real time location of the tracked devicce.
