Product description

Comprising an ANT-B10 antenna board, EVB-ANT-1 development platform and C209 tag, the
XPLR-AOA-3 explorer kit provides a complete Angle of Arrival anchor point – and all you need for
developing direction-finding and indoor positioning applications.
The antenna board runs the u-blox developed u-connectLocate software, while the development
board runs an open-source demonstration software that relays angle events from the antenna board.
The C209 tag runs example, open-source, tag software. All the cables and adapters that are
necessary for mechanically connecting the boards are also included in the kit.
An off-the-shelf pin header on EVB-ANT-1 allows easy connection to ANT-B10. For an overview of the
EVB-ANT-1 board and external connections, see also
