Practical design consideration in a Bluetooth tranceiver design

The ever increasing dynamic range requirement for the RX path and maximum transmission power requirement for the TX path add difficulty in the Bluetooth transceiver design. The tradeoff between noise and linearity performance is carefully examined to meet the RX dynamic range requirement. RX anti-interference performance is improved by careful system level planning. TX non-idealities are addressed in design to achieve large usable output power. A transceiver with -92dBm sensitivity and 9dBm maximum TX power is implemented following the proposed methodology.
