Opportunity: New application areas of UWB technology in wireless sensor network
A wireless sensor network is a type of ad hoc network designed for areas where wiring and power supply is difficult to achieve. Over the years, wireless sensor network has gained significant attention in the military, transportation, and other industries. The conventional carrier-based wireless communication technologies are unable to meet the requirements for low power consumption, low cost, user-friendly design, and interference immunity. Hence, researchers are getting attracted toward UWB technology due to its feature of short pulses. The use of carrier less short pulses in UWB, which offers effective and reasonable transmission in the wireless sensor network, has an array of advantages over other carrier-based communication technologies. The advantages of UWB technology-based solutions in terms of cost, size, and power consumption fulfill the requirements of the microsensor node used in the wireless sensor network. Moreover, its capability for high data transmission in a short distance facilitates the gateway nodes to transmit data.
Challenge: Complexities in channel estimation for UWB communications
Channel estimation is one of the most important parameters considered while designing a receiver for deployment in any wireless communications network. The receiver used in the UWB-based wireless communication system correlates the received signal with a predefined template signal. However, as a result of the extremely wide bandwidth and very low signal energy, a short pulse used in UWB technology undergoes pulse distortion, thereby making channel estimation in the UWB-based communication system highly complicated. Furthermore, the large frequency band of UWB increases the antenna swap-out (or additions), as well as the complexity of antenna counts, which makes the channel estimation more difficult.
Indoor positioning systems are expected to hold largest market share during forecast period
UWB is an emerging technology that has shown better performance in indoor positioning. Indoor positioning systems (IPS) are capable of determining the real-time position of an object in a physical space. The indoor positioning system can be integrated with indoor navigation systems for blind and visually impaired people; they can also be combined with locating devices installed in buildings, aiding visitors to find an emergency exit in a smoky environment, tracking kids in crowded places, and tracking expensive equipment. Nowadays, consumer, healthcare, industrial, and retail verticals, among others, require communications, precision positioning, or radar systems for communication, video streaming, surveillance, and many other applications, thus giving rise to UWB technology-based indoor positioning systems.
Communication application to hold largest share of UWB market in 2025
The demand for wireless wideband communications systems has increased significantly owing to emerging applications such as mobile ad-hoc networking and data collection through a wireless sensor network. UWB wireless technology offers significant advantages in this application owing to its narrow pulses and high localization precision. UWB communications systems are receiving significant attention due to their high data rates and low power consumption, as well as the ability to reduce interference. Owing to the energy-efficient operation of UWB technology, battery-driven consumer electronic devices are feasible for short-range communication. In the swiftly developing communication application, high data rate transition, covering a larger area, is required. Hence, UWB antennas are used for wireless communication, thereby driving the market for UWB technology.
Consumer electronics vertical to hold largest market share of UWB market from 2020 to 2025
UWB would be the fastest-growing technology, which is expected to significantly improve the consumer’s experience related to home entertainment products, such as TVs, laptops, and audio equipment. UWB enables wireless connections at speeds of 110 Mbit/s and greater, making it perfect for connecting televisions to DVD players and recorders, personal video recorders (PVRs), and home audio equipment. With a data-rate capability of 110 Mbit/sec. and a range of 10 meters, UWB can stream multiple high-definition videos wirelessly from a set-top box to a television monitor. Other home entertainment products that too get benefitted from the UWB technology include game consoles, MP3 players, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal computers PCs, and so on. UWB meets the low power requirements of handheld electronics, including MP3 players and PDAs, and provides the low-cost solution necessary for wide consumer adoption. With the increasing need for more precise location services and secure access to systems, the demand for UWB technology for use in consumer electronics is on the rise.
North America to hold largest share of UWB market in 2025
Earlier, UWB was not widely adopted in North America owing to the cost-effectiveness of other substitute wireless technologies, such as faster versions of Wi-Fi, and low-power Bluetooth. UWB technology has been widely deployed in the communications and RTLS systems. Recent advancements in positioning accuracy of impulse radio-based UWB technology and falling average selling prices (ASP) of UWB chips are expected to drive the UWB market in North America during the forecast period.
