4.2 Bluetooth Radio
The CYW4339 has an integrated radio transceiver that has been optimized for use in 2.4 GHz Bluetooth wireless systems. It has been
designed to provide low-power, low-cost, robust communications for applications operating in the globally available 2.4 GHz
unlicensed ISM band. It is fully compliant with the Bluetooth Radio Specification and EDR specification and meets or exceeds the
requirements to provide the highest communication link quality.
4.2.1 Transmit
The CYW4339 features a fully integrated zero-IF transmitter. The baseband transmit data is GFSK-modulated in the modem block
and upconverted to the 2.4 GHz ISM band in the transmitter path. The transmitter path performs signal filtering, I/Q upconversion,
output power amplification, and RF filtering. The transmitter path also incorporates /4-DQPSK and 8-DPSK modulations for 2 Mbps
and 3 Mbps EDR support, respectively. The transmitter section is compatible to the Bluetooth Low Energy specification. The trans-
mitter PA bias can also be adjusted to provide Bluetooth Class 1 or Class 2 operation.
4.2.2 Digital Modulator
The digital modulator performs the data modulation and filtering required for the GFSK, /4-DQPSK, and
8-DPSK signal. The fully digital modulator minimizes any frequency drift or anomalies in the modulation characteristics of the trans-
mitted signal and is much more stable than direct VCO modulation schemes.
4.2.3 Digital Demodulator and Bit Synchronizer
The digital demodulator and bit synchronizer take the low-IF received signal and perform an optimal frequency tracking and bit-
synchronization algorithm.
4.2.4 Power Amplifier
The fully integrated PA supports Class 1 or Class 2 output using a highly linearized, temperature-compensated design. This provides
greater flexibility in front-end matching and filtering. Due to the linear nature of the PA combined with some integrated filtering, external
filtering is required to meet the Bluetooth and regulatory harmonic and spurious requirements. For integrated handset applications in
which Bluetooth is integrated next to the cellular radio, external filtering can be applied to achieve near-thermal-noise levels for
spurious and radiated noise emissions. The transmitter features a sophisticated on-chip transmit signal strength indicator (TSSI) block
to keep the absolute output power variation within a tight range across process, voltage, and temperature.
4.2.5 Receiver
The receiver path uses a low-IF scheme to downconvert the received signal for demodulation in the digital demodulator and bit
synchronizer. The receiver path provides a high degree of linearity, an extended dynamic range, and high-order on-chip channel
filtering to ensure reliable operation in the noisy 2.4 GHz ISM band. The front-end topology, with built-in out-of-band attenuation,
enables the CYW4339 to be used in most applications with minimal off-chip filtering. For integrated handset operation, in which the
Bluetooth function is integrated close to the cellular transmitter, external filtering is required to eliminate the desensitization of the
receiver by the cellular transmit signal.
4.2.6 Digital Demodulator and Bit Synchronizer
The digital demodulator and bit synchronizer take the low-IF received signal and perform an optimal frequency tracking and bit
synchronization algorithm.
4.2.7 Receiver Signal Strength Indicator
The radio portion of the CYW4339 provides a Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) signal to the baseband, so that the controller
can determine whether the transmitter should increase or decrease its output power.
