nrf5340 Direction Finding Central

Is there any way to test the Direction Finding Central sample code without an antenna array? I currently have two development kits in which I would like to use to test the direction finding but do not have an antenna array. Additionally, are there any other sample codes that would allow for me to test direction finding using just two development kits?

  • No, there is no way to test direction finding without an antenna array. The way Direction finding works is by scanning through the antennas during a transmission to check the phase differences between each. Without an antenna array you won't get any phase change so won't work. The sample code in the SDK seems to detect the antenna array is not present as it seems you don't get any data out if you run the code without the array connected, haven't checked whyt that's the case as you can't do anything with such a setup anyway.
