The BOOST Radio is a RF transceiver design for Bluetooth applications. It covers the BT 2.0/2.1 specifications including EDR (Enhanced Data Rates) with GFSK, QPSK and 8-DPSK modulations. RF and MODEM are included in the design. When combined with the BOOST Core (Bluetooth baseband), they form a complete Bluetooth solution.

The BOOST RF uses a digital interface: bits interface for the data and a SPI interface for the control.
