Figure 23 Bluetooth interface
The Bluetooth has a separate built in antenna and is powered by VBAT and the regulated voltage VIO. For
audio applications the Bluetooth has a PCM data bus. In addition a UART (universal asynchronous receiver/
transmitter) is used for data communication and controls.
RF description
Receiver (RX)
An analogue signal is received by the phone's antenna. The signal is converted to a digital signal and is then
transferred further to the baseband (eg. to the earpiece).
The receiver functions are implemented in the RF ASIC.
Signals with different frequencies take different paths, therefore being handled by different components.
Transmitter (TX)
The digital baseband signal (eg. from the microphone) is converted to an analogue signal, which is then
amplified and transmitted from the antenna. The frequency of this signal can be tuned to match the bandwith
of the system in use (eg. GSM900).
