A bitstream modifier is operative on a packet which uses repetition coding. The bitstream modifier increases randomness of the data in a deterministic manner such that spectral spurs from repetition coding are greatly reduced, thereby providing greater available transmit power. In another example of the invention, baseband samples of a header and/or payload for a Bluetooth packet are modified by a canonical sequence with a low slew rate for data such that the variations in frequency may be tracked by a receiver and the transmitted spectral spurs reduced.

Apparatus and method to reduce spectral peaks in Bluetooth communications

In one aspect, a radio device comprises: an analog front end (AFE) circuit to receive and process an incoming radio frequency (RF) signal comprising a packet; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the AFE circuit to receive and digitize the processed incoming RF signal into a digital signal; a detector coupled to the ADC to detect a carrier frequency offset (CFO) in the digital signal based at least in part on a preamble of the packet; and a controller coupled to the detector. The controller may generate a compensation value for the CFO based on the detected CFO and cause one or more components of the radio device to compensate for the CFO using the compensation value.
