Computes the carrier frequency of the Bluetooth signal to generate based on the value that you specify in the channel number parameter. The BT Generation computes the center frequency according to section 2, Part A, Volume 2 of the Bluetooth Specification Version v6.0.
The Bluetooth system operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. This frequency band is 2,400 MHz to 2,483.5 MHz. RF channels are spaced 1 MHz apart and are ordered in channel number k according to the following formula:
f = 2402+k MHz
where
k=0, 1, ..., 78 for Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate packets
f = 2402+(2*k) MHz
where
k=0, 1, ..., 39 for Low Energy packet
f is the frequency of the RF channels.

Inputs/Outputs
channel number
—
channel number specifies the channel number.
standard
—
standard specifies the standard. The default value is Basic+EDR.
error in
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
carrier frequency (Hz)
—
carrier frequency returns the RF frequency (f) corresponding to the channel number k, where f = 2402 + k MHz.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
