Receiver Sensitivity/Block Error Rate (BER)

Within Bluetooth the sensitivity level (-70dBm) is defined for a raw
BER (Block Error Rate) of 0.1%.
In fact to be able to substain the maximun throughput in DH5 mode (that
is to say 432Kb/s full duplex or 721/56 assymetric) the RF device must be
specified for a BER of 10-6 (instead of 10-3). This
impacts both the sensitivity and the phase noise of the device. Check with
the RF device supplier if he can guarantee this BER. |
