RTLS Accuracy Starts in Antenna Design: Q&A with Antti Karilainen

In Bluetooth Angle-of-Arrival RTLS, accuracy starts at the RF measurement. Tags transmit direction-finding packets, locators receive them through antenna arrays and sample I/Q data, and software computes angles and 3D positions. Because the software can only process the measurements it receives, antenna design, array characterization, tag orientation, mounting surfaces, and radio-channel capacity directly shape real-world
