Chapter 2. Product Overview
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth wireless technology will simplify connections between everyday appliances such
as mobile phones, PCs and PDAs. Bluetooth will not be confined to the office - home
applications will include portable music players, digital cameras, video recorders and
children’s toys. In future, Bluetooth technology will be found in the automotive, avionics
and industrial controls markets. Bluetooth technology will provide individuals with a
personal networking environment that can be found in public places, such as shopping
centers, sports stadiums and airports.
The success of the Bluetooth standard will depend on users of the technology enjoying
products that are reliable with high-quality connections that can be used “out of the box” to
provide immediate connectivity.
The combination of leading-edge RF and protocol technologies, coupled with the
requirement to get implementation costs down to a few dollars, puts particularly high
demands on the test department to develop test procedures that are comprehensive in
terms of both RF and functionality. These tests need to be fast and initiated through a
simple user interface. The integration of a module into an OEM product will not necessarily
produce predictable results, and the performance of every item will be different, this
makes it essential to test to a known set of parameters using an instrument traceable to
National Standards.
Anritsu knows the importance of test for RF products. We know that in an OEM production
environment, the key requirement will be to validate performance in the shortest time.
Production engineers will need to decide on a subset of the Bluetooth RF test specification
that is appropriate to their product’s requirements.
Working with RF, especially RF at over 2 GHz is not easy, but with Anritsu as your test
partner you can be certain of having the most up-to-date and relevant testing capabilities
for your Bluetooth products.
