PHY Modeling

Waveform generation and analysis, signal recovery, physical layer parameterization and processing

Bluetooth® Toolbox features and reference examples enable you to model Bluetooth basic rate/enhanced data rate (BR/EDR) and low energy (LE) physical layer (PHY) processing based on Bluetooth Core Specification 5.3.

Use the PHY modeling capabilities of the toolbox to:

  • Configure a Bluetooth BR/EDR and LE channel.

  • Generate and visualize Bluetooth BR/EDR and LE waveforms.

  • Decode Bluetooth BR/EDR and LE waveforms using the ideal receiver. The ideal receiver assumes perfect synchronization and enables you to demodulate and decode synchronized time-domain Bluetooth waveforms.

  • You can also decode the captured signals or the signals received in real time using software-defined radio (SDR) hardware such as the ADALM-PLUTO Radio.

  • Compute the packet error rate (PER) and bit error rate (BER) values for the Bluetooth BR/EDR and LE waveforms.
