1. What is GFSK
GFSK employs a Gaussian filter to smooth the frequency transitions to that the modulate
carrier frequency changes smoothly with a Gaussian shaped envelope. This maintains
continuous phase of the carrier frequency and reduces the emitted spectral sidelobe,
allowing better spectral efficiency and less inter symbol interference

2. Define symbol timing

The Bluetooth specification demands a symbol timing accuracy of +- 20ppm. This means
that the clock which is driving the baseband symbol processing logic must be accurate
overall operating conditions

3. What are the control signals in rf architecture

TxOn, PaOn, VcOn, Rxon

4. Define payload
Payload contains user voice or data packets.

5. What is the maximum bit error rate (BER) for Bluetooth?

 Bluetooth is specified to operate with a maximum bit error rate of 0.1%.

6. What are the different types of access code

Channel access code (CAC) : identifies piconet
Device access code (DAC) : used for paging and subsequent response
Inquiry access code (IAC) : used for inquiry purpose

7. Define blue RF goal

One standard interface for Bluetooth radio chip

8. Name the 3 receive modes in blue rf and the operations performed by radio and baseband
RxMode l – Radio contains demodulator and
Baseband contains DC thresholding and data extraction circuitry.
RxMode 2 - Radio contains demodulator and DC thresholding circuitry
Baseband contains the data extraction circuitry.
RxMode 3 –Radio contains all the three functions.

9. Draw the diagram for base band

10. Draw the conceptual Bluetooth CLK offset application

11. What is sco interval

The Master will transmit SCO packets to the Slave at regular intervals, defined by the
parameter Tsco. This is referred to as the “SCO interval” and is counted in slots.

12. Define uncertainty window

Uncertainty window accommodates any variation in the system timing between two
communicating devices.

13. Define native clock (or) define CLKN

Every device has its own “native” free running counter that controls the timing and
operation of that device which is called as native clock or CLKN

14. Define CLKE

CLKE is derived by adding offset to CLKN. It is used by a master to create an estimate
of CLK in a slave device

15. What is HEC?

It is simply a CRC function performed on the header represented in octal notation by the
generator polynomial 647. It is initialized with either master or slave UAP or DCI,
depending on the packet. HEC allows the recipient to ignore the remainder of a packet
following failure of HEC.

16. What is FEC

17. Define whitening
18. Name the two operation occurs at the time of correlation matches
 An event is signaled to the receive state machine to commence reception
 A measure of the sub slot symbol accurate timing offset between two devices is made
and the complete clock offset updates approximately to maintain CLK
