Who is TDSR?
TDSR is a core group of ultra wideband (UWB) true believers. We currently advance, support, and sell the P400 family of UWB radios originally developed by Time Domain Corporation, and most recently sold by 5D Robotics and Humatics Corporation. Until recently, P440 UWB radios, based on pulsed coherent UWB technology, were broadly sold worldwide to government, commercial, industrial, and university customers but external sales ceased due to changes in corporate direction. TDSR was formed to reestablish worldwide sales, support new and existing P440 customers, and continue to advance the core technology through the release of the new 5G-compatible P452 ranging radio and radar sensor.
Deep Ultra WideBand Roots
The “youngsters” at TDSR have been working in the field of UWB for nearly 20 years and “old timers” for 25. Senter Reinhardt, the founder of TDSR, originally started working for Time Domain Systems Inc back in 1996, shortly after Larry Fullerton invented the technology and started to commercialize it. Senter designed the first production capable UWB radios based on the very first UWB custom silicon developed by Time Domain. In 1999 Senter worked with a small internal group of Time Domain engineers to develop a more integrated second generation UWB chipset.
Pioneers of UWB Technology
For 25 years Senter designed numerous generations of UWB custom silicon and various radios including the entire P4XX family. Before starting TDSR Senter was the core radio hardware and UWB chip designer at Time Domain (TDC), 5D Robotics, and Humatics Corporation. Other team members at TDSR have worked to develop advanced UWB 2D/3D radar systems, tracking systems, 2D/3D location systems, and UWB network systems.
Our Goals
For several years pulse based coherent UWB development was focused on vertical markets and not the core technology. A primary goal of TDSR is to reestablish the R&D focus and push the technology forward. We plan to release a broad range of both ranging/location and radar products, develop more advanced software, develop new UWB antennas for various use cases, and grow partnerships with integrators who will help bridge the gap between intelligent sensors and complete systems.
While our immediate focus is on what we know and love, pulse based coherent ultrawideband, our real goal is filling customer needs in the fields of radar, positioning, ranging, location, and tracking. We will continue to develop various forms of technology that accomplishes these goals.
