Direction finding beacon and 802.15.4 in the nRF5340

Hi Mike

Since the nRF5340 only has one radio, you won't be able to have a direction finding beacon advertising simultaneously as running an 802.15.4 application, but I think you could switch between the two if that's acceptable. 

Please note that a direction finding device will need X amount of time to transmit the IQ samples before giving over the control of the radio peripheral to whatever the 802.15.4 application is doing.

You can use the multiprotocol service layer libraries which provies services for multiprotocol applications alllowing the 802.15.4 radio driver to negotiate transmission timeslots with the radio controller.

Best regards,

Simon
