Abstract
A Bluetooth receiver includes a primary circuit path, which can create a first digital IF modulated signal to obtain a Bluetooth load signal at a current Bluetooth frequency point, and an auxiliary circuit path, in parallel with the primary circuit path, which can create a second digital IF modulated signal in a Bluetooth frequency range across multiple Bluetooth frequency points. A signal analysis module of the auxiliary circuit path may evaluate interference levels of the second digital IF modulated signal at the Bluetooth frequency points, by analyzing a Fourier Transformation (FT) spectrum of the second digital IF modulated signal, and to choose a number of working Bluetooth frequency points corresponding to relative low signal strengths in the FT spectrum. This way may efficiently and quickly choose qualified working Bluetooth frequency points for Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) in a single current time slot, without consuming any additional time slots for detection.
