Hi Andy, thanks for your feedback. That’s what I feared to hear. My measurements I ran so far, with DW1000 dev boards from Makerfabs as well as the Decawave DW1000M eval boards, had some significant communication loss in cluttered environments ( I performed measurements in a park with trees and bushes, those weren’t in the LOS though). I barely managed to get above 30m with both boards, although the amplifier definitely helped and I could still crank up performance I guess.
Would you have a recommendation for me on the hardware/software side to increase range? I believe amplifying the receiver side could be a nice solution, but is there anything like this I can buy off the shelf?
The boards of above’s manufacturer might solve the problem, but as you said, in an official product it will most definitely hard to avoid the limits.
