Bluetooth vs Zigbee-difference between Bluetooth and zigbee


This page covers comparison between bluetooth and zigbee wireless PAN technologies. It covers difference between bluetooth and zigbee technologies.
SpecificationsBluetoothZigbee
IEEE Standard802.15.1802.15.4
RF Frequency BandISM bands country wise as mentioned below: USA and Europe-2400 to 2483.5MHz , Japan-2471 to 2479MHz, France-2445 to 2475MHz, Spain-2446.5 to 2483.5MHz868MHz in Europe 915 MHz in Australia/USA, 2450 MHz worldwide
Channel Spacing1 MHz5 MHz, Occupied bandwidth is about 2 MHz.
No. of ChannelsUSA & Europe- 79, Japan, France and Spain-2316 channels for 2450 MHz band, 10 channels for 915 MHz band, 1 channel for 868 MHz.
Distance10 cm to 100 meters based on Bluetooth device power class10 to 100 meters based on transmit power, antenna etc.
Data rateDevices as per Bluetooth 1.0 Specifications offer about 1 Mbps, Devices as per Bluetooth 2.0 offer up to about 3 Mbps.868/915 band provides about 20/40Kb/s respectively. 2450MHz band provides about 250 kb/s data rates
ModulationGFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying)BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) for 868/915 MHz and OQPSK(Orthogonal QPSK) for 2450 MHz, Uses DSSS to convert bits/symbols to chips.
Protocol StackCore protocols- (Physical layer called baseband layer, Link Manager Protocol, Logical Link Control and adaptation protocol, Service Discovery Protocol),cable replacement protocol layer(RFCOMM) Telephony Control Specification Binary Existing protocols- PPP, TCP,UDP,IP,OBEX,WAE/WAPPhysical layer, MAC layer, network, security and application

MDU RANK LIST IS OUT

-
now the waiting time  is complete and the mdu rank is disclosed and finally the result breakover is shows it is clearly defined the result is being affected by the even semester ghost is totally patronized the students and the hauuuwa of the even semester is done their job  but but but over on this  maximum no of the student get clears the result with verry good percentages  so many hurdles are comes out but now the rank is declared and are below ↓

brain monitoring Electroencephalography (EEG)

-
Image
Electroencephalography  ( EEG ) is an  electrophysiological  monitoring method to record electrical activity of the  brain . It is typically noninvasive, with the  electrodes  placed along the  scalp , although invasive electrodes are sometimes used such as in  electrocorticography . EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from  ionic current  within the  neurons  of the  brain . [1]  In clinical contexts, EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, [1]  as recorded from multiple  electrodes  placed on the scalp. Diagnostic applications generally focus either on  event-related potentials  or on the  spectral content of EEG. The former investigates potential fluctuations time locked to an event like stimulus onset or button press. The latter analyses the type of  neural oscillations  (popularly called "brain waves") that can be observed in EEG signals in the frequency domain. EEG is most often used to diagnose
