Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for applying dithering to waveforms in a transmitter such as a Bluetooth transmitter. A current waveform corresponding to a current bit of a bitstream is received where the current waveform has a nominal frequency deviation defined by a value of the current bit. Based on the determination that the current waveform and an immediately previous bit of the bitstream are associated with different bit values, a first dithered signal is output which is defined by a first frequency offset pseudorandomly selected from a first set of frequency offsets. A subsequent waveform to the current waveform is received corresponding to a subsequent bit of the bitstream. Based on the subsequent bit and the current bit being associated with bits of the same value, a second dithered signal is output which is defined by a second frequency offset pseudorandomly selected from a second set of frequency offsets.
