Antenna for receiving beacon signals

[Guilherme]

Hi!

I need an antenna array suggestion to use when receiving beacons signals with precise location.
i'm using NRF52810.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you refering to for Bluetooth Direction Finding? nRF52810 doesn't have support for Bluetooth direction finding. If you want to use Bluetooth direction finding you need to use nRF52811, nRF52820 and/or nRF52833. For normal Bluetooth chips you should use a single antenna, not array antenna. In AoA Bluetooth direction finding an array antenna is usually used in the locator devices, while the tag uses single antenna. You can read a little bit more about BLE direction finding here.

Best regards,

Marjeris

Thanks Marjeris,

I'm refering to Bluetooth Direction Finding, I need an array antenna for locator and I'll use the nRF that suport AoA or AoD Bluetooth Direction Find.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, because of summer vacations in Norway there will be some delays in the response time here on Devzone. For antenna options I recommend contacting your local distributor. You can also contact your Nordic Regional Sales Representative (RSM) for more information about the current alternatives we have for Bluetooth Direction Finding at Nordic. If you send me a private message with your company location (country) I can share your RSM contact information with you.

BR,
