Throughput Performance Evaluation And Analysis Of Unmodified Bluetooth Devices, Steven J. Taylor
Theses and Dissertations
The Air Force relies on the application of new technologies to support and execute its mission. As new technologies develop, the integration of that technology is studied to determine the costs and benefits it may provide to the war fighter. One such emergent technology is the Bluetooth wireless protocol, used to connect a small number of devices over a short distance. The short distance is a feature that makes using the protocol desirable. However short, there is still a vulnerability to interception. This research identifies ranges at which several commercially available Bluetooth devices are usable. Various combinations of both distance …

Bluetooth technology has potential for widespread use within the Department of Defense and the Air Force. An office environment using Bluetooth technology can wirelessly connect computers, printers, and other office equipment in order to share information over short distances. The clutter and annoyance of cables connecting equipment can be eliminated. Bluetooth provides a standard interface for connection, as opposed to many different proprietary cables. The research is conducted indoors in a climate controlled environment, with minimal obstructions, to closely follow free-space signal propagation. Four different antenna orientations are used. The factors varied are the distance between devices, and the antenna …
