Performance Evaluation of Pulse Shapers in Bluetooth

Abstract

Bluetooth uses Frequency Shift Keying modulation scheme with Gaussian pulse shaper. Pulse shapers reduce the sidelobe amplitudes and obtain phase continuity. This paper addresses the various pulse shaping techniques and their performance for Bluetooth network. MATLAB based simulation is carried out for BER and throughput performance of Bluetooth for various frequency pulse shapers. It is clear from the simulated results that Raised Cosine pulse shaper offers throughput enhancement of 3.96kbps at 10 dB Eb/No.
