microhop
Microhop refers to a very short-range wireless communication method. It is a subset of the broader category of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, which utilizes a wide spectrum of radio frequencies to transmit data over short distances. The key characteristic of microhop is its extremely limited transmission range, often measured in mere centimeters or a few meters. This deliberate restriction in range is a design feature intended to enhance security and reduce interference with other devices.
The primary applications for microhop technology revolve around proximity-based interactions. Examples include secure device pairing, where
Microhop systems typically operate in unlicensed frequency bands, allowing for widespread adoption without the need for
