Complex UWB signal analysis and debugging

UWB technology is growing in industries that require secure communication combined with high-precision distance measurement: automotive, indoor navigation, and asset tracking.
However, troubleshooting and analyzing UWB signals provide some challenges:

Complexity of signal capture

UWB operates over a wide frequency spectrum, and capturing these signals in real-time requires advanced equipment.

Protocol decoding limitations

Engineers often need to analyze communication over various UWB protocols like FiRa and CCC, but standard tools lack comprehensive support.

Latency issues

Real-time analysis with minimal latency is crucial for time-sensitive applications, such as in automotive systems, where security and precision are paramount.

Real-time UWB signal capture and protocol analysis

UWB Sniffer provides a solution for some challenges, offering engineers a tool for monitoring and troubleshooting UWB communication with precision. It captures UWB signals in real-time, decodes the necessary protocols, and allows for detailed parameter adjustments, enabling fine-tuned analysis.
