EMC & Bluetooth

Original Post: EMC (SIG Forum)    Date: 2000-07-26


There are a series of benckmarks ensuring a Bluetooth product's ability to cope with different kinds of signal interferance

  • The qualification program requires a product to pass a blocking requirement which is a fairly high level continuous wave interferer ranging from 30 MHz to 12.75 GHz.
  • There is a test for Carrier to Interferer performance where the receiver must cope with other Bluetooth modulated signals nearby.
  • An intermodulation test where the Bluetooth receiver must cope with the combination of another
    Bluetooth modulated signal and a CW interferer.
  • Finally, European EMC regulations will require that the device operate correctly in the presence of amplitude modulated fields from 80 to 1000 MHZ and a pulse modulated field (simulating GSM) at 900 MHz.

As soon as products start rolling out, these measurements will provide a fair indication of whether they can cope with difference interferers.
