| We explored the possible effects of various interferences on Bluetooth devices in the ISM band. We developed a model of Bluetooth and interference from sources such as WLAN devices and Microwave oven, and evaluate the functionality of Bluetooth in the presence of these interferences. As a first step we created Bluetooth, WLAN and Microwave oven models using SPW (Signal Processing Workstation). In our exploration, we undertake three cases: (1) When the Bluetooth is in the presence of only noises in the channel; (2) When the Bluetooth is in the presence of Microwave oven interference; (3) When the Bluetooth is in the presence of WLAN interference. We show that these models can be used to analyze the interferences on the Bluetooth in the ISM band. Future efforts of our group will be to analyze this Bluetooth model with combined interference from all the sources, to come up with possible solutions to reduce the effect of these interferences. |
