5. Application

The gateway has an array antenna, the beacon sends Bluetooth data, and the gateway can receive or send Bluetooth signals when switching between different antennas.

Antenna array design

image8

Angle of arrival operation

Measure and detect the phase difference of the Bluetooth signal between different receiving antennas,and then calculate the angle of arrival of the signal based on this information and the known distance between the different antennas.

image9

Derive AoA from the phase difference of different antenna signals

AoA technology only provides relative azimuth and/or elevation angle data between the sending and receiving devices, and other information is needed to calculate the absolute X, Y, and Z coordinates of the Bluetooth asset tag. Figure shows the mechanism to achieve this calculation. In this example, the receiver coordinates and direction are known, and AoA is used to derive azimuth and elevation data from the Bluetooth asset tag.

image10

Determine the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the Bluetooth asset tag from the known location of the Bluetooth receiver and the azimuth and elevation information generated by AoA

There are other ways to calculate the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the tracked device, such as using multiple receivers to detect the signal sent by the asset tag, and then using triangulation or trilateral measurement to
calculate the asset location.

7. Signal Gateway - Two Dimensional Locating

A single gateway calculates and obtains the actual heading angle/pitch angle of the tag, and obtains a uniqueray. According to the determined tag height, a single gateway can calculate and obtain a unique spatial absolute coordinate.

Coverage depends on your installation height, Angle α maximum value:
Height =h , α= 60℃ ,Coverage r= h*tagα ≈2h

8. Multiple gateways - Large Area

The strap-down combination of multiple gateways obtains a larger positioning coverage space, and multiple anchor course angel calculations improve the global spatial accuracy level.
