The Impact of Antennas on the Bluetooth Link in Indoor Office Environments
Abbas Mohammed · 2005
Abstract: Antennas that are able to direct the transmitted and received signals ' energy are of great interest for future wireless communication systems. The directivity implies reduced transmit power and interference, and hence potential for increased capacity. In this paper we present the results of measurement trails of the Bluetooth link employing different antennas in NLOS and LOS for indoor office environments. The results show the potential improvement in system performance gained from the use of directive antennas and the great dependency of the results on the antenna parameters (gain and efficiency) and the overall impact on the quality and coverage of the Bluetooth link.
