Correct, for the BLE direction finding, this is not possible.

Hi Kaja,

1. so nRF52832 do not support any method of direction finding for TX?

2. from the way that you explain, i won't be able to use a nRF52832(TX) and nRF52833(RX) ?

To use Bluetooth direction finding both the receiver and transmitter must support it.

From our Introduction to the technology:
AoA allows for use of very simple, low cost tags to act as the source device of which we wish to determine its location. This system would have more complex locator units mounted in an unobstructed manner in location to determine and calculate the position of items that are tagged.

Such scenarios might include:
• Asset tracking in warehouses
• Value asset tracking in hospitals, govt. establishments etc.
• ID location of people and staff

This is to be run on nRF52833, but as the low cost tags nRF52811 could also be used as it supports 5.1.

Best regards,
Kaja
