BLUETOOTH RADIO
The BCM4325 includes an integrated radio transceiver, optimized for use in 2.4 GHz Bluetooth wireless systems. Its design
provides low-power, low-cost, robust communications for applications operating in the globally available, 2.4 GHz,
unlicensed ISM band. The radio transceiver is fully compliant with Bluetooth radio and EDR specifications and meets or
exceeds the requirements to provide the highest communication link quality of service.
Note: Sharing a single 2.4 GHz antenna between the Bluetooth and WLAN sections is supported when an
appropriate SP3T switch is used in the external RF signal path.
TRANSMIT
The BCM4325 features a fully integrated zero-IF transmitter. The baseband transmit data is digitally GFSK-modulated in the
modem block and upconverted to the 2.4 GHz ISM band in the transmitter path. The transmitter path consists of signal
filtering, I/Q upconversion, output power amplifier (PA), and RF filtering. The transmitter path also incorporates new
modulation schemes π/4-DQPSK for 2 Mbps and 8-DPSK for 3 Mbps to support EDR.
Digital Modulator
The digital modulator performs the data modulation and filtering required for the GFSK, Π/4DQPSK, and 8-DPSK signal. The
fully digital modulator minimizes any frequency drift or anomalies in the modulation characteristics of the transmitted signal
and is much more stable than direct VCO modulation schemes.
