Bluetooth Concepts, Verification and Measurements (AG237)

Synopsis

Bluetooth is the wireless technology standard for connecting devices in the class of Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). It uses radio frequencies in the 2.45 GHz ISM spectrum range to transmit information over short distances of generally 33 feet (10 meters) or less. By embedding a Bluetooth chip and receiver into products, cables that would normally carry the signal can be eliminated.

This course provides Bluetooth concepts with an emphasis on the testing and verification of the Bluetooth transceiver unit.
