We do not have any example projects as of yet but please see our Direction finding whitepaper which describes how to configure and enable the Bluetooth Direction Finding features of nRF52 and nRF53 series devices.

Best regards,

Hi support,

For nRF52833 SDK are the example codes available for AoA and AoD ? Could you please explain me how can we collect IQ samples or CTE from the radio and analyse it further for direction finding purpose ?

Thanks in advance for your support

Got it.

I did not check the content carefully.

Thanks

Btw

I heard you company are going to release SDK for AoA?

Is it true?

Because nRF52832 has no support for BLE5.1 and especially direction finding. If you need BLE5.1 compatible solution, you need one of three chips I mentioned above.

Dmitry

thanks for answer. Why it is not compatible with BLE5.1? My understanding is that AoA is defined as major feature of BLE5.1.

Hi,

Direction finding is supported by nRF52811, nRF52820 and nRF52833. Maximum you can do with nRF52832 is to use it as AoA beacon for custom protocol, but this will not be compatible with BLE 5.1
