2. Radio part
Bluetooth™ Transceiver Module, model UGPZ6 has fully integrated 2.4GHz radio transceiver with Class2 power,
receiver and frequency-hopping synthesizer.
Then, UGPZ6 has also provision of Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) that is used to improve the performance
of physical links in the presence of interference as well as reducing the interference caused by physical links on
other devices in the ISM band. AFH shall only be used during the connection state.
In order to facilitate power management, each section of the radio may be powered up and down separately.
Various software controllable switches have been implemented to control power to the transmitter, the frequency
synthesizer/VCO, the receiver and the LNA, if provided.

3. Base band part
Bluetooth™ Module contains link controller, which performs all the real-time functions of the Bluetooth™
baseband protocol layer, including data transfer and connection management. The device also controls states of
operation enables sniff, park and hold modes of operation. Real-time functions such as frequency-hopping burst
timing and clock synchronization are also implemented in this hardware. Further processing is required to format
the data into the Bluetooth™ packet format before it may be applied to the GFSK modulator. On the receive side
the controller performs error correction and de-scrambling before de-packetizing the incoming payload and storing
it in RX buffers.
The link controller hardware also implements the basic, repetitive actions of paging, inquiry, page or inquiry scans
and the general Bluetooth™ modes of park and sniff. This ensures that the processor used to implement the Link
Manager and other lower layer protocol can be kept inactive.
4. Eligibility requirements for regulatory approval:
As a part of regulatory certification, ALPS will provide an approval for certain countries in the form of modular
