Hello!
I am currently doing a school project where we are going to design a direction finding system using antennas and an automated robot arm to adjust to angle.
From what we have read the most reasonable choice of antenna is either a yagi or parabolic antenna. The robor arm is fairly small, and the preferred size of the antenna is at max 40cm x 40cm. We have found some candidates such as these:
But we are unsure if these are compatible with BLE communication at 2.4GHz and if a high gain antenna is preferred. As for the theory we have read; we want a high gain directional antenna to scan for the signal from the Rx side, and use a omnidirectional beacon as Tx.
However, the question to you guys is if the listed antennas are suitable, which one we should chose, or if you have any suggestions at all for what choice of antenna we should use.
Thank you so much in advance!
