Enabling CTE on a peripheral as part of AOA

[A.P]

Hi!

We're trying to investigate setting up CTE in our peripherals, as part an AOA location detection, and are running into issues.

I wanted to make sure, as I'm not sure I understand correctly from other tickets here, if it is possible to enable CTE on peripherals.

Our peripherals are mainly:

1. nRF52833 devices (I saw nrf52833 supports AOA, so CTE should be possible on these)

2. Using soft device S113- could not find if it is possible to enable CTE on S113.

3. We're not currently using nRF Connect SDK, but nRF SDK. Is CTE possible using nRF SDK or must we switch to nRF Connect SDK?

4. Can you point us towards some examples where CTE is used?

Thanks!

Hello,

I will have to get back to you on this next week.

Hello Asaf,

1. nRF52833 devices (I saw nrf52833 supports AOA, so CTE should be possible on these)

Yes, direction finding is supported on the nRF52833's.

2. Using soft device S113- could not find if it is possible to enable CTE on S113.

3. We're not currently using nRF Connect SDK, but nRF SDK. Is CTE possible using nRF SDK or must we switch to nRF Connect SDK?

Unfortunately, direction finding is not supported on nRF5 SDK (eg. Softdevice S113). You would have to switch to NCS, though this is something I would recommend you to do either way. For more info, see here.

4. Can you point us towards some examples where CTE is used?

Gladly. We have samples for both DF solutions with and without connection.
