What is UWB?
UWB stands for ultra-wideband, it is radio protocol, very fast secure, and low power. It is used to determine location with accuracy that no other wireless technology matches.
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows electronic devices to communicate with one another. It can be used to build a personal network with a range of 10 meters that operates in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed band.
UWB vs Bluetooth:
- UWB stands for ultra-wideband, Bluetooth has no full form.
- Bluetooth has 79 radio frequency channels, whereas UWB has 1 to 15 radio frequency channels.
- Bluetooth uses the GFSK modulation technique, while the UWB uses BPSK and QPSK modulation techniques.
- Bluetooth requires low bandwidth, while the UWB requires high bandwidth.
- The radio signal range of Bluetooth & UWB is ten meters.
- There is a maximum of 8 cell nodes in Bluetooth, while there is also maximum of 8 cell nodes in UWB.
- Both of the frequency range supported in Bluetooth vary from 2.4GHz to 2.483 GHz.
