5 IEEE 802.15.4z-2020 UWB Standard

The IEEE 802.15.4z-2020 UWB standard is an amendment to IEEE Standard 802.15.4-2020 and defines two profiles, High-Rate-Pulse (HRP) and Low-Rate-Pulse (LRP) for UWB communication and ranging. The following table lists the LRP modes defined in the amendment and the subset of these modes, which are comparable to the system modes of the ATA8352 device for the verifier and prover modes, data communication and TDoA.

Note:
  1. These modes are mandatory modes defined in the IEEE 802.15.4z amendment; the other modes are optional.
  2. These modes are not defined in the IEEE 802.15.4z standard and are proprietary for the ATA8352 device.

The modes implemented in the ATA8352 device have some deviations to the definitions in the amendment, meaning, for the preamble and the synchronization, but are comparable for data rate, modulation, PRF and PPS.
