u-blox ANT-B10 BLUETOOTH® Low Energy 5.1 Antenna Boards

u-blox ANT-B10 BLUETOOTH® Low Energy 5.1 Antenna Boards are self-contained boards for direction finding and indoor positioning. The ANT-B10 provides eight patch-antenna elements in an arrangement for optimal performance in the presence of multipath effects. The antenna boards measure the angle of an incoming BBLUETOOTH Low Energy (LE) radio signal with high accuracy. Combining two or more ANT-B10 boards and positioning engine software allows the precise position of a BLUETOOTH LE device in an indoor environment.

The u-blox ANT-B10 antenna boards implement the NINA-B411 BLUETOOTH 5.1 standalone module, running the u-connectLocate software, which utilizes the unique u-blox direction-finding algorithm. The boards incorporate a widely available standard pin header that supplies a digital interface to the application board, therefore forming a complete AoA anchor point.

The ANT-B10 antenna board and the EVB-ANT-1 development platform constitute the XPLR-AOA-3 kit. The user can plug the two boards together and have an AoA anchor point within seconds.
