    Description

    The bleAngleEstimateConfig object parameterizes the bleAngleEstimate function for estimating the Bluetooth® low energy (LE) angle of arrival (AoA) or angle of departure (AoD).

    Creation

    Syntax

    cfgAngle = bleAngleEstimateConfig
    cfgAngle = bleAngleEstimateConfig(Name,Value)

    Description

    cfgAngle = bleAngleEstimateConfig creates a default Bluetooth LE angle estimation configuration object.

    example

    cfgAngle = bleAngleEstimateConfig(Name,Value) sets properties by using one or more name-value pairs. Enclose each property name in quotes. For example, bleAngleEstimateConfig('SlotDuration',1) sets the switch and sample slot duration to 1 μs.

    Properties

    expand all

    Size of the array, specified as a positive integer or a two-element row vector of positive integers.

    • Setting this property to a positive integer specifies a uniform linear array (ULA) antenna array design with array elements on the y-axis.

    • Setting this property to a vector specifies a uniform rectangular array (URA) antenna array design. The vector must be of the form [r c], where r and c denote the number of row elements and column elements in the antenna array, respectively. In this case, the row elements and column elements are present along y-axis and z-axis, respectively.

    Dependencies

    To enable this property, set the EnableCustomArray property to 0 or false.

    Data Types: double

    Normalized element spacing with respect to signal wavelength, specified as a positive real number or a two-element row vector of positive real numbers.

    • Setting this property to a positive real number, specifies a ULA antenna array design with array elements on the y-axis.

    • Setting this property to a vector, specifies a URA antenna array design. The vector must be of the form [sr sc], where sr and sc denote the spacing between row and column elements of the antenna array, respectively. In this case, the rows and columns are present along y-axis and z-axis, respectively.

    Dependencies

    To enable this property, set the EnableCustomArray property to 0 or false.

    Data Types: double

    Flag to enable or disable custom array, specified as 0 (false) or 1 (true).

    Data Types: logical

    Normalized element positions with respect to wavelength, specified as a 3-by-N matrix, where N is the number of elements in the custom array. Each column of the matrix specifies the element position in the form [x; y; z] in the local coordinate system. The first column of the matrix must be [0; 0; 0].

    Dependencies

    To enable this property, set the EnableCustomArray property to 1 or true.

    Data Types: double

    Switch and sample slot duration, specified as 1 or 2. Units are in microseconds.

    Data Types: double

    Antenna switching pattern, specified as an M-element row vector, where M must be in the range [2, 74/SlotDuration+1].

    Data Types: double
