Description

The MS85001 is a highly integrated monolithic ultra-wideband (UWB) motion detector radio-frequency IC (RFIC) that integrates the transmit output amplifier and the full receive path. The transmit power level and the detection range are adjustable.

The radar is a homodyne configuration for simplicity and small size. An integrated RF oscillator provides the carrier frequency for the Tx pulse and the local oscillator (LO) for the receive mixer. The homodyne radar architecture helps to reduce the power consumption. An I²C digital interface is used to communicate and set up the MS85001 for the desired configuration.

  1. Social Distancing Wristwatch with UWB

    I'm wondering if Renesas still makes the UWB social distancing watch from 2020 with Altran as I'm interested in it for a new activity app
