  • Page 12: Classic Bluetooth

    2. Approvals and Usage 2.2.2. Classic Bluetooth ® Classic Bluetooth divides the 2.402-2.480 GHz band into 79 channels, each of which is 1MHz wide. However, since Bluetooth changes channels rapidly (up to 1600 times a second), it is unlikely to cause continuous interference in a specific channel and can be overcome by implementing a simple acknowledge/retransmit functionality.

  • Page 20: Recommended Layout

    • If the design is using an external antenna via the U.FL connector, it is okay to overlap the antenna area with copper. However, the design with an external antenna needs to meet appropriate regulatory requirements depending on the target geography, such as FCC, IC, MIC/TELEC, etc. Contact Anaren for additional information.
