Estimation of the impact of electromagnetic and co-channel interference on the Bluetooth receiver

A major issue to be addressed in the design, operation and applications of Bluetooth system is interference. This paper presents the results of interferences study investigating the impact of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and co-channel interference on Bluetooth receiver. Results are based on simulations by means of different scenarios. Preliminary results show that the performance of Bluetooth will be degraded in presence of interferences, being necessary to design a more robust Bluetooth receiver
