AOA (Angle of Arrival)

Angle of Arrival (AOA) is a measurement used in wireless communication and navigation to determine the direction from which a signal is received. When a device receives a signal, it can analyze how the signal arrives at different antennas or sensors to find the precise angle—like pinpointing where the sound came from in a room. AOA helps in locating objects or devices, improving positioning accuracy, and enhancing wireless network performance. It’s a key concept in technologies like GPS, radar, and indoor positioning systems.
