Can the Adafruit Bluefruit feather (nrf52832) be used as a beacon for AoA/AoD ?

I would like to evaluate the AoA/AoD feature of BLE 5.1. Is it possible to use the Adafruit Bluefruit Feather (nrf52832 SoC) with the AoA/AoD as a locator beacon with the following example

Only the nRF52811, nRF52833 and nRF5340 can be set up as AoA beacons. https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Bluetooth-Direction-Finding

Thanks for the information. I thought that since the nrf52832 SoC advertises compatibility with the BLE 5.3 spec, this feature would be available on this SoC. 

I will have a look at the options that you have mentioned.

To be able to act as a beacon for AoA, it needs to have CTE (constant tone extension) enabled. Only the three devices I listed can do this. For a beacon, the nRF52811 will be the most suitable device as the two others have features that are not needed here.
