Antenna matrix/array for developing Bluetooth Direction Finding on nRF5340/nRF52833

[Jerry T]

Hi

I have a project developing Bluetooth Direction Finding with nRF5340/nRF52833 and I understand an antenna matrix/array is needed in the receiver side for AoA. Which solution would you suggest? Also, I discovered that ublox has an explorer kit "XPLR-AOA-1" and an antenna board "ANT-B10". Which would you suggest? Is it possible to connect the antenna board to the nRF5340/nRF52833 development kit? If so, what kind of software support is provided by Nordic?

Thanks

Hi Jerry,

As you already know, developing Bluetooth Direction Finding requires an antenna array.. You could use any antenna matrix of your choice, or could get in touch with your Regional Sales Director for Nordic Antenna Array.. As for the software support, we do have the Bluetooth Direction Finding Beacon and Bluetooth Direction Finding locator samples that you could use. We also have a white paper here that you could refer: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nwp_036/page/WP/nwp_036/intro.html
