Hi
However, there is another point needed to be noticed and that's the LO
(local oscillator) capability of the daughterboard. I mean, does
have the X-series enough ppm (lower than 3 ppm)? The LO also shall
have suitable switching time too.
The X3xx series uses a 2.5PPM TCXO, just like the N2xx series. If that
isn't accurate enough, you can always use an external, higher-accuacy
reference.
You use the same daughtercards in the X3xx as the N2xx, except that with
the -120 cards (designed specifically for X3xx), they have a wider
analog baseband, to "match" the ADC sample rate. So, the LO
switching times would be the same--on the order of a few milliseconds.
LO architectures for wideband frequency hopping need to be explicitly
engineered for that particular application, and it looks like BlueTooth
hop-rates are sub-millisecond, so you can't hop the LO fast enough,
but as Marcus Mueller points out, you can hop within a wide baseband.

The architecture itself can basically deal at arbitrary sample
boundaries; however, as soon as you tune a physical thing like an
LO, you need some time, especially since the LOs generated on USRP
daughterboards discipline the LOs to the high-quality reference
clock using PLLs. Depending on the frequency, the frequency delta,
the daughterboard, environmental situations as well as individual
component variances, the time from tune to stable oscillator
changes; these times are in the order of multiple milliseconds, in
most cases.
You could avoid analog tuning by only doing frequency shifting in
the DSP on the N210's FPGA; however, the N210-compatible
daughterboards have a bandwidth of 40MHz, so this is not possible
for Bluetooth (which is spread over 80MHz).
With the X3x0, you can use 120MHz daughterboards, which would
enable you to do purely digital tuning.
I am, however, not familiar enough with the Bluetooth PHY to
assess whether there are latency constraints that prohibit control
by a PC -- if the hop sequence is known sufficiently before
transmission starts, one could try to generate timed commands that
tune the DSP on specific samples. However, that might get a bit
ugly, because the on-device command queue has a limited length, so
you might need to send timed commands at high rates.
Alternatively, the 80 MHz bandwidth comfortably fits into the
sampling rate you can get in and out of the X3x0 via 10GigEthernet
-- but then, your PC will be burdened with the task of continously
generating more than 80MS/s -- for 2 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth.

Marcus

Yeah I have had a look at Bluetooth PHY. The hop rate of Bluetooth in
paging substate increases as 3200 hop/sec too. So you mean the N210 USRP
can't support 1600 (or 3200) hop/sec?
What do you mean by "latency"? Is that the latency of the USB or Ethernet?
Jeff, please clarify your stance. Why the latency problem doesn't matter
X-series USRP?

Hi Jeff,
What is your reason for saying: "Latency and tuning" of the N210 device
isn't appropriate???
I should have said that, with either USB or Ethernet, and with a
non-real-time O/S, the latency to too great. Hop rate is generally 1600
hops/sec. Take a look at the Bluetooth physical layer spec for more info.
