Optimizing Antenna Positioning to Record High Data Rates When Using UWBTracer/Trainer™ Systems

When attempting to transfer data between two (or more) WiMedia UWB devices (including Certified Wireless USB devices), you may encounter an increase in recorded frame errors at high data rates (e.g., 480 Mb/s). This issue can be due to sub-optimal antenna orientation, so it is recommended that the user consider the specific test setup and orientation of devices (especially antennas) before making any tests.
