Example techniques relate to playback based on acoustic signals in a system including a first network device and a second network device. A first network device may detect a presence of a user using a camera and/or infrared sensors. The first network device sends, in response to detecting the presence of the user, a particular signal via the first network interface. The second network device receives data corresponding to the particular signal and plays back an audio output corresponding to the particular signal.

A method and installation for calibrating an airborne goniometry apparatus by means of a calibration generator, remote from the airborne goniometry apparatus. The method includes sharing, between the goniometry apparatus and the calibration generator, a calibration sequence. The method also includes sharing, between the goniometry apparatus and the calibration generator, a start time of the calibration sequence. The method further includes executing the calibration sequence by the goniometry apparatus and by the calibration generator, at the start time. The start time is determined in reference to the same clock, referred to as a reference clock, provided to the goniometry apparatus and the calibration generator, by an external source.

Correlation interferometry direction finding (CIDF) processes that significantly improve processing time and cut memory requirements relative to the current memory requirements are provided herein. The presently disclosed processes further may utilize only the real portion of the correlation coefficient of the RF signal to further increase processing speed and decrease memory requirements while simultaneously improving direction finding accuracy and reducing the number of wild bearings reported.

Systems and methods are provided to simultaneously determine both angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) of a signal transmitted between two or more radio frequency (RF)-enabled wireless devices (e.g., such as BLE modules). The disclosed systems and methods may be so implemented in one embodiment to determine AoD even in the case where the transmitting wireless device is at the same time operating in a departure (or AoD) transmitting mode by transmitting a RF signal from multiple antenna elements of at least one switched antenna array using a given switching pattern or sequence implemented by an array switch.

Example techniques relate to playback based on acoustic signals in a system including a first network device and a second network device. A first network device may detect a presence of a user using a camera and/or infrared sensors. The first network device sends, in response to detecting the presence of the user, a particular signal via the first network interface. The second network device receives data corresponding to the particular signal and plays back an audio output corresponding to the particular signal.

A method is provided for estimating a signal's angle of arrival (AOA) in a communications system. Starting values for each of a horizontal AOA and a vertical AOA are estimated. The estimated vertical AOA starting value is used to select a horizontal PDOA trace of horizontal PDOA calibration data. The selected horizontal PDOA trace is interpolated to determine a best horizontal AOA estimate for a current iteration. The estimated horizontal AOA starting value is used to select a vertical PDOA trace of vertical PDOA calibration data. The selected vertical PDOA trace is interpolated to determine a best vertical AOA estimate for the current iteration. After each iteration, determining if a maximum number of iterations has been reached or if the best horizontal or vertical AOA estimate has not changed by a predetermined amount. When one of these is true, the best horizontal and vertical AOA estimates are used.
