This paper reports on our development of a dual-mode transceiver for a CMOS high-rate Bluetooth system-onchip solution. The transceiver includes most of the radio building blocks such as an active complex filter, a Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) demodulator, a variable gain amplifier (VGA), a dc offset cancellation circuit, a quadrature local oscillator (LO) generator, and an RF front-end. It is designed for both the normal-rate Bluetooth with an instantaneous bit rate of 1 Mb/s and the high-rate Bluetooth of up to 12 Mb/s. The receiver employs a dualconversion combined with a baseband dual-path architecture for resolving many problems such as flicker noise, dc offset, and power consumption of the dual-mode system. The transceiver requires none of the external image-rejection and intermediate frequency (IF) channel filters by using an LO of 1.6 GHz and the fifth order onchip filters. The chip is fabricated on a $6.5-mm^{2}$ die using a standard $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Experimental results show an in-band image-rejection ratio of 40 dB, an IIP3 of -5 dBm, and a sensitivity of -77 dBm for the Bluetooth mode when the losses from the external components are compensated. It consumes 42 mA in receive ${\pi}/4-diffrential$ quadrature phase-shift keying $({\pi}/4-DQPSK)$ mode of 8 Mb/s, 35 mA in receive GFSK mode of 1 Mb/s, and 32 mA in transmit mode from a 2.5-V supply. These results indicate that the architecture and circuits are adaptable to the implementation of a low-cost, multi-mode, high-speed wireless personal area network.

To establish a network environment where multiple wireless personal area networks(WPAN) are simultaneously operating in the same area, we need to consider the effects of inter-device interference. The extent of interference effect from neighboring frequency channel interferer may be different depending on the modulation types that are used for constructing the wireless network. If a modulation scheme with high spectral side lobes is used, the spatial separation between devices plays a major role in determining the amount of interference from neighboring frequency channel interferer. In this paper, we investigate the effect of inter-device interference in the overlapped raised cosine offset quadrature-quadrature phase shift keying (ORC-$OQ^2PSK$) modulation based WPAN. By comparing the results with those of GFSK modulation based WPAN, we verify the feasibility of ORC-$OQ^2PSK$ based WPAN.

Bluetooth is an open specification technology for short-range wireless connectivity between electronic devices. This paper analyzes the effects of interference on the performance of a Bluetooth system. Two performance criteria used in the study are the signal to interference power ratio (SIR) and the bit error rate (BER) of the bits received. The interference from various sources on the performance of a Bluetooth device is analyzed, and these quantities are plotted against Eb/No and SIR for various channel conditions in figures.
