Novel Bluetooth Receiver Structure Deploying Improved Zero-Crossing Detection

Bluetooth is a short-range communication system facilitating ad hoc networking between various devices and terminals, using Gaussian-frequency-shift-keying modulation. In this paper, the authors present and analyze a novel receiver structure for Bluetooth, which is based on zero-crossing detection in combination with zero-forcing block linear equalization. Simulation results are presented, showing a favorable performance compared to other detectors
