Works with Bluetooth 5.1 for Better Performance

The CC2642R1FRGZR works smoothly with Bluetooth 5.1 to do more. It includes Direction Finding, which uses AoA and AoD for exact positioning. This can help create tools like indoor maps or item trackers.

It also supports connecting to many devices at once. This is useful for IoT gadgets and wearables needing strong connections. By using Bluetooth 5.1, the CC2642R1FRGZR ensures your devices work well and stay reliable.

The CC2642R1FRGZR is not just a part; it’s a tool for building smart Bluetooth 5.1 systems. Its features keep your devices advanced and efficient.

Precise positioning in wireless systems

Finding exact locations is now a big deal in wireless tech. With Bluetooth 5.1, you can locate things within centimeters. This is great for indoor maps, tracking items, and smart homes. The CC2642R1FRGZR uses these features to make reliable and efficient systems for smart devices.

Direction Finding with AoA and AoD

Bluetooth 5.1 adds Direction Finding, which uses AoA and AoD. These methods find where signals come from or go to. This helps track a device's location using signal angles, not just strength.

Here’s how it works:

AoA (Angle of Arrival): Finds the angle where a signal reaches the receiver.
AoD (Angle of Departure): Tracks the angle where a signal leaves the sender.

These methods use antennas to find positions very accurately. For example, indoor systems with Bluetooth 5.1 can locate things within 0.1 to 1 meter. This is much better than older systems.

Performance Indicator	Description
Direction Finding Accuracy	Tracks locations down to centimeters for better services.
Test Cases	Needs 23 tests for AoA and AoD to work well.
Measurement Requirements	Done in direct test mode with special RF and I/Q checks.
CTE Generation	Makes sure the transmitter creates proper Continuous Tone Extension (CTE).
IQ Measurements	Measures signal phase correctly on the receiver side.

The Nordic nRF52811 SoC shows how Direction Finding changes wireless tech. It uses little power but tracks locations precisely. This makes it great for indoor maps and tracking items where accuracy matters.

Use cases for precise positioning in smart devices

Precise positioning has made many new ideas possible for smart devices. You can now create tools that seemed impossible before.

Indoor Navigation: Imagine walking in a big mall or airport. Bluetooth 5.1 can guide your phone to your destination with great accuracy.
Asset Tracking: Companies can track their items live, cutting losses and working better.
Wearables: Fitness bands and smartwatches can track your moves more exactly, making them more useful.
Smart Homes: Robots like vacuum cleaners can move around your house better, avoiding things and cleaning smarter.

Tests prove how well Bluetooth 5.1 works in these cases. For example, static tests show errors drop by 90% with advanced methods like Smart-PPP.

Test Type	RMS Errors (PVT)	RMS Errors (Smart-PPP)	Improvement
Static	1.09 m (East)	0.43 m (East)	61%
	2.66 m (North)	0.27 m (North)	90%
	3.71 m (Up)	0.73 m (Up)	79%

| Kinematic | N/A | 0.5-0.6 m (East) | 80% | | | N/A | 1.0 m (Vertical) | 50% |

These results show how Bluetooth 5.1 can change smart devices. Using the CC2642R1FRGZR, you can make systems that are super accurate and dependable.
