Highly compact UWB impulse radio shown with a US penny. The radio itself has a width of 2 thousandths of an inch (50 micrometers) and length of 6 thousandths of an inch.

Miniature, Low-Power UWB Impulse Radio

Prime continues to build upon its low-power ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology that was originally developed under previous SBIR funding for NSF.  Prime’s UWB impulse radio technology can serve as the basis for radically miniaturized, low-power sensor telemetry solutions.  In addition to low-power and small size, Prime’s UWB impulse radio is a low-cost nearly all digital implementation, provides high bandwidth and is resistant to multi-path interference, such as might be encountered in many industrial environments.  Prime has ongoing projects that will greatly expand the operating temperature range of current Prime radio technology to 500F and above.
