Bluetooth Technology

• Introduction
• PC-Card, USB and IrDA Introduced Mobile
  Computing
• Environment.
• Bluetooth is the latest in Mobile World.
• Bluetooth Targets on
• Replacing cables used to connect different mobile
  devices together.
• Technology should be very small, low cost, light
  weight radios.

Bluetooth Technology

• Users can travel with their products with
  Bluetooth Technology to any country in the world.
• Combination of several strategies from PC and
  Cell phone Industry that have been used to bring
  new system features to market.
• The airlines and the Federal Aviation
  Authority(FAA) are working on
• allowing electronic devices on the aircraft

5
Bluetooth Technology

• Integration Versus External Implementations
• In order to obtain connectivity between devices,
  it
• Is necessary to integrate Bluetooth technology
  into
• the target devices.
• Cost of integration versus external add-ons.
• For Notebook PCs PC card or USB dongle.

6
Bluetooth Technology

• Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG)
• This group ensures that the technology is well
  defined and reliable on
• The first instantiation.
• Technical Specification Development
• Definition of Usage models
• Logo Testing and Certification
• Manufacture has to prove that the product meets
  the
• requirement before it gets the Bluetooth Logo.

7
Bluetooth Technology

• Components to Complete Bluetooth System
• Hardware
• Software
• Regulatory Approval
• Logo Approval

8
Bluetooth Technology

• The System Interface
• Detach signals
• Wake signals

9
Bluetooth Technology

• Antenna Types
• Main Characteristics of Antenna
• Small size
• Good Omni-directional radiation pattern
• Low cost
• Ceramic 10mm x 5mm x 5mm
• Half Wave Dipole Good RF Characteristics.
• Planer Inverted F Antennas 45mm x 10mm x 10mm

10
Bluetooth Technology

• Antenna Module Placement
• Best location for placing the antenna was in the
  hinge area.
• Second choice, the edge or the top of the display
  area.

11
Bluetooth Technology

• Antenna testing
• Change the orientation of the system under test
  relative to the receiving antenna for the test
  equipment.
• Three dimensional plot of signal strength can be
  generated.
• This gives the relative indication of range in
  each direction.

12
Bluetooth Technology

• Build to Order(BTO) /Configure to Order(CTO)
• BTO Decision are made earlier in the assembly
  process.
• CTO Technician simply adds devices after the
  system is complete.
• BTO is cost saving to the manufacture, but more
  complex in design.

13
Bluetooth Technology

• Design pieces for Integrating Mobile Technology
• Mounting a Bluetooth Module
• Mounting the Antenna
• Interconnection between the two

14
Bluetooth Technology

• Bluetooth Product on Aircraft
• Portable voice recorders
• Hearing aids
• Heart pacemakers
• Electric shavers
• SIG has been running test to prove Bluetooth
  devices are safe to be used
• in the aircraft.
• Instead of Notebooks, cell phone have driven a
  strategy of having a cell
• Phone-like on/off mechanism with a positive
  indication of when bluetooth
• device is powered on or not.

15
Bluetooth Technology

• Challenges
• Bluetooth has generated a huge amount of
  interest. Getting products
• on market is contingent on the SIG completing and
  solidifying some of
• its work.
• World RF regulatory process
• Bluetooth SIG qualification process
• Documented position on the airline acceptance of
  Bluetooth Technology

16
Bluetooth Technology

• Conclusion
• Intel is currently working to put together a
  clear set of detailed
• Instructions on how notebook computer can
  integrate Bluetooth
• Technology into products.
