1. Introduction
The SYNTEK BlueW-2310 miniCard product provides the highest level of
integration and most aggressive BOM cost by integrating IEEE 802.11b/g and
Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR into a single MAC/Baseband chip utilizing a single 2.4GHz
transceiver. Integrated on-chip power amplifier and LNA reduce external component
count, while still able to deliver ample transmit power for most applications.
Different from any other wireless LAN and Bluetooth chip set vendor, SYNTEK and
3DSP uses its patented Software Radio technology to implement both wireless LAN
and Bluetooth in software. The highly optimized software radio DSP technology
enables BlueW-2310 miniCard to integrate class 1 Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR
function without any added cost to the total solution. No extra antenna, PA, RF
transceiver, resistor, capacitor, crystal or any components are needed. The
software solution even guarantees the Bluetooth RF performance if the wireless
LAN performance is tested to be good. It eliminates the need for system
manufacturers to separately test the module’s Bluetooth RF performance,
therefore reduce the testing time and cost.
The BlueW-2310 miniCard utilizes 3DSP’s patent pending technologies to
fundamentally solve the interference and performance issues existed during
802.11b/g and Bluetooth coexistence, thus improving both 802.11b/g and
Bluetooth performance and link stability in real environment. As a result, it
enhances user experience in a totally wireless environment, where all devices are
connected wirelessly through either Bluetooth link or 802.11b/g link.
The single installation package allows for easy setup and configuration of both
802.11b/g and Bluetooth devices. Combined user interface is intuitive to use. Once
configured, both wireless links operate transparently in the background.
