A 2.4 GHz concurrent radio transceiver architecture for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

A radio transceiver architecture for concurrent processing of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (IEE 802.11b) radio signals in the 2.4 GHz ISM band is presented. The architecture is tailored for low power implementation in a standard deep sub-micron CMOS process. It adopts an innovative frequency plan exploiting adaptive frequency hopping for the concurrent processing and of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radio signals. A link budget analysis is performed to map out system level requirements to block level specifications.
