LOCN1-1.0 Locator

CoreHW LOCN1-1.0 Locator is a Bluetooth AoA development kit locator device intended for indoor positioning system providers.

Locator includes CHW1010-ANT1-1.0 AoA antenna array board and nRF52833 development kit board. The antenna array board contains eight dual linear polarized patch antennas and CoreHW CHW1010 SP16T Bluetooth AoA/AoD capable antenna switch for Bluetooth AoA CTE sampling.

nRF52833 development Kit board contains Nordic Semiconductor nRF52833 BLE SoC that controls CoreHW 1010 AoA antenna switch and performs I/Q-sampling of CTE advertising packets sent by compatible Bluetooth AoA Tags. I/Q samples can then be passed for further processing on positioning system via USB interface.

Multiple CHW1010-LOCN1-1.0 locators can be connected to Windows 10 PC via USB interface and used together with CoreHW AoA Demo PC software to demonstrate indoor positioning based on AoA.
