An efficient algorithm for a link budget definition of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) receiver is presented. The aim of this paper is to provide a simple procedure that the analog designers can use for a preliminary but reliable definition of the BLE RX building blocks specs. Starting from the BLE standard, the global specifications of the analog front-end are derived (noise figure, IIP3, IIP2, etc.) and, in a second phase, distributed among the building blocks. Finally the system design is validated through simulation results obtained from a Simulink analysis.
