4.4 Modulator-Demodulator

  • For Bluetooth 1.2 specification and below, 1 Mbps is the standard data rate based on the Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation scheme. This BR modem meets BDR requirements of Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR specifications.
  • For Bluetooth 2.0 and above specifications, EDR is introduced to provide the data rates of 1/2/3 Mbps.
  • For baseband, both BDR and EDR utilize the same 1 MHz symbol rate and 1.6 kHz slot rate.
  • For BDR, symbol 1 represents 1-bit. However, each symbol in the payload part of EDR packet represents 2/3 bits. This is achieved by using two different modulations – π/4 Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) and 8-Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK).
