BT Modul - Using Bluetooth with your PCT-IIusb
Datasheet (pdf document 196 KB)
The BT board is installed inside the PTC-IIusb and provides error free
communication with the Bluetooth network of your computer. The BT board
is installed inside the PTC-IIusb so that the antenna can radiate at the
backplate of the PTC-IIusb.
The PTC-IIusb is now available with optional Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a
low power high frequency (2.4 GHz) radio link which serves as a cable
replacement for short distances.
The data stream signal of a USB interface is located in the middle of
the shortwave bands. Therefore, the USB data signal cannot be separated
from the shortwave signal being transmitted or received by simply filtering.
Mutual interference is possible, especially where the antenna is located
close to the modem/PC setup (ship borne installations). Mutual interference
in this case means that the transmitted HF-signal can disturb the USB
data stream between PC and modem, as well the USB data stream can disturb
the radio reception of shortwaves.
Bluetooth can help solve this problem, as Bluetooth and shortwave radio
signals don’t interfere with one another. Additionally, eliminating
the USB cable connection, the danger of ground loops and parasitic currents
distorting the radios signal modulation are removed, which will lead to
a better transmission quality.
You can order the PTC-IIusb with Bluetooth option already installed, or
you can get an existing PTC-IIusb extended for Bluetooth by an authorised
dealer or by SCS.
