Hi all, I’m interested in creating a proximity-based alarm system with UWB technology. The system consists of two devices, a portable device and a stationary device. The portable device will need to sound an alarm when moved outside of a 5m radius of the stationary device. Ideally the portable device will be small enough to be carried on a keychain and be powered by a small rechargeable battery. Is this possible with UWB technology? Can anyone provide further guidance as to what hardware is needed to achieve this?
Hi Tom
This would be a common enough application for our IC. It’s a geo fencing application.
Customers use this application for access control, property control, machinery control and many other applications.
I send you the TREK User manual. It states how you can evaluate geo fencing. The IC datasheet will tell you how to use the GPIOs for external “bells and whistles”.
