BU04-Kit SpecificationV1.1.0
1. Product Overview
BU04-Kit is a dual-antenna ultra-wideband development board designed by Ai-Thinker Co.,
Ltd based on BU04 module. The BU04 module on the board integrates the
DW3000+STM32F103 MCU and supports dual onboard antennas or dual IPEX external
antennas. BU04 can be used in bidirectional ranging, TDOA or PDOA positioning system,
positioning accuracy up to 10 cm, and support up to 6.8 Mbps data rate, can be widely used in
precision positioning, coal mine positioning, hospital personnel positioning, storage
positioning, a variety of indoor positioning and other fields.
