Introduction Description Bluetooth Basics Bluetooth Software Bluetooth Operations Bluetooth Keyboard Advantages Disadvantages

1. Introduction

Bluetooth-Originally started by Ericsson company. It is named for Harald Blaatand. Bluetooth-Wireless and Automatic technology simplifying art of communication. Frequency used is 2.45 GHz, same used in ISM devices.

2. Description

Bluetooth-Wireless technology providing link between mobile and electronic devices. It operates on 2.45 GHz radio signals using frequency hopping spread spectrum. Technology of Bluetooth concentrates on short range of communication.

Applications

Laptops PDAs Headphones Wireless printer adapter Onboard Bluetooth adapter.

3. Bluetooth basics

Bluetooth is low powered and low cost. All the devices follow a uniform structure Devices Connect through network called Pico nets. Strength lies in handling data and video transmission simultaneously.

Bluetooth Basics

Specification- Bluetooth specification gives developers data link and application layer definitions Spectrum-Bluetooth operates between 2.4 and 2.485 GHz using a frequency hopping spread spectrum. Interference- is reduced using Adaptive Frequency Hopping allowing a better efficiency and greater performance.

4. Bluetooth software

Bluesoleil can be installed on personal computer or on personal digital assistant also On a PC, it provides a lot of Extra wireless features. It also has a graphical user interface (GUI). On a PDA, provides basic Bluetooth profiles such as headset and hands free profile, personal networking (PAN) profile

Bluetooth Software

Bluetooth software can be installed and used on Bluetooth capable devices. There exists different software for different devices like PDA , personal computer. Enables the device to use technology at its fullest. Best example is Bluesoleil.

5. How Bluetooth works?

They normally operate at 2.45GHZ in license free globally available ISM radio band. Advantage-worldwide availability and compatibility. Disadvantage- devices must share the band with other RF emitters including automobile security systems, noise sources such as Microwaves Solution- Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)

Frequency hopping is jumping from one frequency to another within the ISM radio band.

Efficient use of entire bandwidth.

Low Interference

Provides basic level of security.

Working of FHSS

There exists a master-slave relation between devices. A device in master mode can communicate with upto seven slave devices. Bluetooth devices work in a short range to conserve the battery power.

Technical operations

High speed, low powered wireless technology. Circuits are Contained on a 0.9 cm square. This offers 1MB link with security. Each device offers unique 48 bit address from IEEE 802.15 standard. Authentification is via a 128 bit key. Supports up to 721KBps along with 3 voice channels.

6. Bluetooth Keyboard

Bluetooth keyboard is one of major applications of Bluetooth technology. It was first developed by Microsoft in 2002. Today most of companies offer this type of keyboard, some of which companies include Dell, Apple.. A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combination will allow the user to work at distances of up to 30 feet. There are mainly two types in this-wireless keyboard and virtual keyboard.

Wireless and Virtual keyboard

Wireless keyboard, called Optical Desktop Elite offered by Microsoft work with 2.4 GHz Bluetooth technology. Apple wireless keyboard is a sleek and compact design and makes a secure, reliable connection with Mac. Foldable types are another type of Bluetooth keyboards. It ranges in full size keyboard to mini keyboard.

Virtual keyboard

Virtual keyboard is projected on a flat, non reflective surface and keystrokes are accompanied by key clicking sounds that are simulated. The keyboard has 63 keys and it measures only 295*95 mm with a height of 3.5 inches. Keyboard works by producing a red diode laser light when keyboard is projected on surface.

7. Advantages

Wireless Inexpensive Automatic Interoperability Low interference and energy consumption. Share voice and data Instant PAN Upgradeable Long lasting technology.

8. Disadvantages

Data rate and security. More susceptible to Interception and attack. Less range.
