General Safety Information
Portable Operation
DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna
is very close to, or touching, exposed parts of
the body, especially the face or eyes, while
transmitting. The radio will perform best if
it is held in the same manner as you would
hold a telephone handset, with the antenna
angled up and over your shoulder. Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
DO NOT operate the telephone in an airplane.
DO NOT allow children to play with any
radio equipment containing a transmitter.
Mobile Operation (Vehicle Adaptor)
As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for
the safety of personnel, it is recommended
that no part of the human body shall be allowed to come within 20 centimeters of the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
DO NOT operate this equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. Mobile telephones are under certain
conditions capable of interfering with blasting operations. When in the vicinity of construction work, look for and observe signs
cautioning against mobile radio transmission. If transmission is prohibited, the cellu-
lar telephone must be turned off to prevent any transmission. In standby mode, the
mobile telephone will automatically transmit
to acknowledge a call if it is not turned off.
All equipment must be properly grounded
according to installation instructions for safe
operation.
Portable/Mobile Telephone Use and
Driving
Safety is every drivers business. The portable
telephone should only be used in situations
in which the driver considers it safe to do so.
Use of a cellular portable while driving may
be illegal in some areas.
Refer to the appropriate section of the product service manual for additional pertinent
safety information.

A cellular mobile telephone system divides
the service area into small, low power radio
frequency coverage areas called cells. A cellular system consists of a more or less continuous pattern of these cells, each having a
1 to 40 mile radius (typically 5 - 10 miles).
Within each cell is a centralized cell site with
an elevated antenna and a building. The
building houses a base station with transceivers and related control equipment for the

(395 AMPS / 1185 NAMPS): 667 - 716, and
channels assigned to that cell. All the cell
sites within a system are then connected either by dedicated land lines, microwave links,
or a combination of both to a central control
site called the central controller or switch .
The switch controls the entire cellular system and serves as the interface between the
cellular telephone user and the landline network. Each cell site operates on an assigned
access channel, and may have any number
of paging and voice channels assigned to it.

Primary Control Channels (21): 334 - 354
Secondary Control Channels (21): 737 - 757
Digital cellular multiplexes voice channels to allow for the
possibility of several additional conversations on a single channel.
The cellular radio frequency spectrum has
been divided by the FCC into two equal segments or bands to allow two independent cellular carriers to coexist and compete in the
same geographic coverage area. Each band
occupies one half of the available channels
in the cellular spectrum. Initially there were
666 channels available across the entire cellular spectrum, but that number was expanded to 832 channels in 1987, and with
NAMPS to 2,412 channels in 1991. Digital
cellular promises to make a further expansion. To guarantee nationwide compatibility, the signaling channel frequencies have
been pre-assigned to each segment (band).
The two bands and their assigned channels
TDMA Timeport™ P8190Cellular Overview
are defined in Figure 1.
Originally the B Band was assigned to the
telephone company (referred to by a euphemism, the Wireline carrier). The A Band, by
default, was referred to as the Non-Wireline
carrier, guaranteed competition to the telephone company. Today the terms Wireline
and Non-Wireline have little meaning since
telephone company carriers now operate A
Band systems, and vice-versa.
Control (Data) Channels
A cellular telephone in the cellular system is
under the indirect control of the switch, or
central controller. The central controller uses
dedicated control channels to provide the sig-
naling required to establish a telephone call.
Control channels are used to send and receive
only digital data between the base station
and the cellular telephone. Voice channels
are used for both audio and signaling once a
call is established. The 21 control channels
in each band may be dedicated according to
two different applications: access and paging channels.
The data on the forward control channel generally provides some basic information about
the particular cellular system, such as the
system ID and the range of channels to scan
to find the access and paging channels. Access channels are used to respond to a page
or originate a call. The system and the cellular telephone will use access channels
where two-way data transfer occurs to determine the initial voice channel. Paging channels, if used, are the normal holding place
for the idle cellular telephone. When a call
is received at the central controller for a cellular telephone, the paging signaling will
occur on a paging channel. In many systems
both control channel functions will be served
by the same control (access) channel for a particular cell. Only in very high density areas
will multiple control (paging) channels be required.
Primary control channels are used by all
types of telephones. Secondary control channels are only used by TDMA telephones, providing them with an improved probability of
locking onto a TDMA control channel.
Voice Channels
Voice channels are primarily used for conversation, with signaling being employed as
necessary to handle cell-to-cell hand-offs,
output power control of the cellular radiotelephone, and special local control features.
Data from the cell site (known as FORWARD
DATA) and data from the mobile or portable
(known as REVERSE DATA) is sent using
frequency shift keying. In AMPS signaling,
various control and response tones are used
for a variety of applications to be described
later. However, in NAMPS signaling, the signaling data and tones have been replaced by
sub-audible digital equivalents that constantly ride underneath the audio. And, of
course, in digital cellular, all signaling is digital.
Signaling Protocol
In 1983, when the Federal Communications
Commission (the FCC) licensed cellular telephony, the signaling protocol used was
AMPS. AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Service) was the invention of Bell Labs, the signaling protocol that was ultimately adopted
by all the governments of the entire Western
Hemisphere and, eventually, several other
governments throughout the world.
Today, with the implementation of Narrow
AMPS and TDMA, and the imminence of
CDMA, it may seem that AMPS is out of date.
The truth is that AMPS is very much alive,
at the very core of all these traffic expanding
alternatives to the original signaling protocol developed for conventional cellular telephony.
Under the original AMPS protocol there were
21 control channels assigned to each of two
possible carriers in any metropolitan area,
with a total of 333 channels assigned to each
carrier. Prior to 1987 the FCC had allocated
312 channels to voice (voice, DTMF, or data)
applications for each carrier. In 1987 the
FCC expanded the cellular spectrum (Expanded Spectrum) from a total of 666 channels to 832 channels, allowing for an increase
of 83 voice channels for each carrier. But the
number of control channels remained constant, 21 control channels for each carrier.
In 1991, responding to the demand for even
more voice channels, Motorola introduced
NAMPS (Narrow AMPS), expanding the
voice channels by a factor of 3, assuming all
subscribers are using NAMPS telephones.
But one thing remained constant, there were
21 control channels for each carrier.
In 1992, when Motorola tested its TDMA digital product, digitizing three communication
links on each of 395 voice channels, one thing
remained constant: there were still 21 con-trol channels for each carrier.
between digital cellular and AMPS is that
all signals are digitized, including voice.
At a basic level, cellular telephony has two
divisions: analog cellular and digital cellular. In the following section, analog cellular
(AMPS and NAMPS) will be discussed. In
the succeeding section, digital cellular will
be treated.
Leaving the control channels more or less untouched is the key to allowing telephones that
are not capable of NAMPS or digital operation to have access to the system using the
conventional AMPS scheme. In virtually
every scheme (AMPS, NAMPS, or digital),
each control channel has a bandwidth of 30
kHz and uses the signaling protocol, with
minor variations for NAMPS and digital,
developed for conventional AMPS
The primary difference between NAMPS and
AMPS is that a NAMPS voice channel has a
bandwidth of only 10 kHz, whereas an AMPS
voice channel has a bandwidth of 30 kHz. In
addition, NAMPS does not make use of certain control and response tones on voice channels as does AMPS, but uses digital equivalents instead.
As the name implies, the primary difference
The simplified block diagram on page 1 - 7
illustrates an imaginary layout of one side
(Band A, or Band B) of a hypothetical service
area. The hexagons represent cells, and some
of the cell sites shown here also illustrate the
fact that an antenna tower and set of base
stations are associated with each site. In a
real world environment individual cells do
not have the hexagonal shape but may take
any form as dictated by the environment.
The cell sites are in communication with individual portable and mobile cellular telephones. These portables and mobiles may
move from cell to cell, and as they do they
are “handed off” under the supervision of the
Figure 3. Channel Assignments
central controller (switch).
As illustrated(figure 3.) by the antenna tower
on the upper left, cell sites transmit overhead
messages more or less continuously even if
there are no mobiles or portables active
within that cell.
The switch (center left) is in control of the
system and interfaces with the central office
of the telephone company. As illustrated by
the deskset telephones, the telephone company interfaces with the entire landline network.
The cell sites and the mobiles and portables
communicate through the use of data or, in
the case of AMPS, through the use of data
and tones. A complete analysis of data signaling is beyond the scope of this manual.

standard EIA-553 for a thorough discussion
of AMPS signaling protocol, or to Motorola’s

The tones used in AMPS signaling are Signaling Tones and Supervisory Audio Tones.
NAMPS uses sub-audible digital equivalents.
Signaling Tone (ST) and Digital ST (DST)
In AMPS, signaling tone is a 10 kHz signal
used by the mobile or portable on the reverse
voice channel (REVC) to signal certain activities or acknowledge various commands
from the cell site, including hand-offs, alert
orders, and call terminations, and to indicate
switch-hook operation. Various burst lengths
are used for different ST activities. On
NAMPS channels ST is replaced by a digital
equivalent called Digital ST (DST) which is
SAT (Supervisory Audio Tone) and DSAT
(Digital SAT)
The Supervisory Audio Tone (SAT) is one of
three frequencies around 6 kHz used in
AMPS signaling. On NAMPS channels SAT
is replaced by one of seven sub-audible digital equivalents or vectors called DSAT. SAT
(or DSAT) is generated by the cell site,
checked for frequency or accuracy by the cellular telephone, then transponded (that is,
not merely reflected but generated and returned) to the cell site on the reverse voice
channel (REVC). The cellular telephone uses
(D)SAT to verify that it is tuned to the correct channel after a new voice channel assignment. When the central controller
(switch) signals the mobile regarding the new
Figure 4. Channel Assignments
voice channel, it also informs the mobile of
the SAT frequency or DSAT vector to expect
on the new channel. The returned (D)SAT
is used at the cell site to verify the presence
of the telephone’s signal on the designated
channel.
In general there are three uses of (D)SAT:
(a) it provides a form of squelch; (b) it provides for call continuation (but if equipped
for it, the switch will allow for VOX on all
models); and (c) (D)SAT is used to prevent
co-channel interference.
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency)
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) touchcode dialing may also occur on voice channels. DTMF selects two tones from a total of
nine (cellular only uses seven of these tones /
four low and three high tones) to uniquely
represent individual keys.
The diagrams on the following pages outline the various uses of the signals employed
in cellular systems. These signals include:
SAT (Supervisory Audio Tone) 5970 Hz, 6000
Hz, or 6030 Hz. Used in AMPS for channel reuse, muting audio (squelch), and call
continuation [typically ± 2 kHz deviation].
Digital SAT (DSAT) - One of seven codes or
vectors used in NAMPS for the same purpose as SAT [± 700 Hz sub-audible NRZ
data].
Data - Transmitted at 10 kilobits/second in
AMPS and 200 bits/second in NAMPS. Data
is used for sending System Orders and Mobile Identification. Do not confuse data with
the 10 kHz signaling tone. In AMPS, data is
transmitted as Manchester-encoded Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), where the carrier is shifted high or low 8 kHz, and the trailing edge transition is used to represent the
logic. In NAMPS, data is transmitted as NRZ
(Non-Return to Zero) FSK, where the carrier
is shifted high or low 700 Hz, and the frequency shift itself is used to represent the
logic.
Signaling Tone (ST) - A 10 kHz tone used in
AMPS for mobile ringing, call terminations,
hand-offs, and switch-hook operation [typically ± 8 kHz deviation]. ST is always accompanied by SAT.
Digital ST (DST) - One of seven digital
equivalents of ST used on NAMPS channels.
The transmitted DST is always the complement of the assigned DSAT [± 700 Hz subaudible NRZ data].
Audio - Includes microphone audio and
DTMF [maximum ± 12 kHz deviation AMPS,
± 5 kHz deviation NAMPS]. DTMF deviation should be measured on the radians scale;
use key five looking for 9 radians. Audio is
accompanied by SAT in AMPS signaling.
Total deviation of two or more signals is cumulative.
Going into Service
When first turned on, the cellular telephone
will scan through the nationwide set of forward control channels (FOCC’s) and measure
the signal strength on each one. It will then
tune to the strongest one and attempt to decode the overhead control message. From the
overhead message, the telephone will be able
to determine whether or not it is in its home
system, and the range of channels to scan for
paging and access. Telephones not in their
home system will be able to use other cellular telephone systems depending on the level
of service requested by the user. If paging
channels are used, the telephone next scans
each paging channel in the specified range
and tunes to the strongest one. On that channel the telephone continuously receives the
overhead message information plus paging
messages. At this point the telephone idles,
continuously updating the overhead message
information in its memory and monitoring
the paging messages for its telephone number.

Step 12.The telephone turns on (or leaves

Step 13.The telephone switches to the non-
preferred system as recorded in
programming, and goes back to
step 3. The ability to return to step
3 can be disabled by some settings
of System Registration.
*The area between Decision point 5 and Decision point 8 can be quite active.
In a few larger systems, following the suc-
cessful completion of either steps 5 or 7, the
telephone scans a set of paging channels,
tunes to the strongest, and attempts to decode the overhead message train. The procedure is exactly equivalent to that followed
for the access (control) channel. Also at this
point, in a few larger systems, the telephone
is commanded to identity itself (transmit) and
thereby indicate its location in the system.
This is called Autonomous System Registration and, like paging channels, is used to improve paging efficiency.

phone then transmits data at the rate of 10
kilobits per second on the control channel to
notify the switch of its mobile identification
number (MIN) and the number it wants to
reach. The switch verifies the incoming data
and assigns a voice channel and a SAT (or
DSAT for NAMPS channels) to the telephone.
The cellular telephone tunes to the assigned
voice channel and verifies the presence of the
proper forward SAT frequency (or DSAT message). If SAT (DSAT) is correct the telephone
transponds SAT (DSAT) back to the cell site
and unmutes the forward audio. The cell site
detects reverse SAT (DSAT) from the cellular telephone and unmutes reverse audio. At
this point both forward and reverse audio
paths are unmuted and the cellular telephone
user can hear the other end ring, after which
conversation can take place. SAT (DSAT) is
sent and received more or less continuously
by both the base station and the cellular telephone. However, SAT (DSAT) is not sent during data transmissions, and the cellular telephone does not transpond SAT continuously
during VOX operation. Also, DSAT is suspended during the transmission of DST.
Notice that SAT and Signaling Tones are only
used on AMPS voice channels, and that the
Signaling Tone is only transmitted by the cellular telephone.
site, the reception of SAT (DSAT) signals the
central controller that the cellular telephone
is ready for the call. An alert order is then
sent to the cellular telephone which responds
with a 10 KHz signaling tone (DST message).
The subscriber unit rings for 65 seconds or
until the user answers. Then the 10 KHz
signaling tone (DST message) is terminated
to alert the central controller that the user
has answered. The switch then connects the
incoming call to the appropriate circuit leading to the cell in contact with the cellular telephone. At this point both forward and reverse audio paths are unmuted and the conversation can take place. SAT (DSAT) is sent
more or less continuously by the base station and transponded by the cellular telephone, except during data transmission.
DSAT is suspended during DST transmission, and during VOX operation SAT (DSAT)
is not transponded continuously by the cellular telephone.
Receiving a Call (Land to Mobile)
Once a cellular telephone has gone into service, it periodically scans the overhead message information in its memory and monitors the paging messages for its telephone
number. When a page match occurs the
cellular telephone scans each of the access
channels and tunes to the strongest one. The
cellular telephone then acknowledges the
page on that access channel and thus notifies the central controller of its cell location.
The switch then assigns a voice channel and
a SAT (DSAT) to the cellular telephone. The
cellular telephone tunes to the voice channel, verifies the presence of the proper SAT
frequency (DSAT message) and transponds
the signal back to the cell site. At the cell
As a call progresses, the cell site continuously
monitors the reverse channel for signal
strength.
Every cellular telephone has a number of
power steps ranging from full power (3 watts
in a mobile and .6 watts in a portable) down
to as low as about half a milliwatt. In reality all cellular telephones have eight power
steps, but portable models are prevented from
using the two highest power steps by the cell
site. Transmit power level commands are
sent to the cellular telephone as required to
maintain the received signal strength within
prescribed limits.
This is done to minimize interference possibilities within the frequency re-use scheme.
If the signal received from the cellular telephone is higher than the prescribed limit
(such as when the unit is very near the cell
site), the subscriber unit will be instructed
to step down to a lower level.
Hand-offs
If the cellular telephone is at its maximum
allowed power for the cell site it is using and
the received signal at the cell site is approaching the minimum allowable (typically -100
dBm), the cell site will signal the switch to
consider the subscriber unit for a hand-off.
The central controller (switch) will in turn
have a scanning receiver at each of the surrounding cell sites measure the cellular
telephone’s signal strength. The site with
the strongest signal will be the site to which
the call will be handed to if there are available voice channels.
On an AMPS channel the hand-off is executed
by interrupting the conversation with a burst
of data (called blank and burst) containing
the new voice channel assignment. The telephone acknowledges the order by a 50 millisecond burst of 10 kHz signaling tone on the
originally assigned voice channel. The mobile telephone then drops the original voice
channel and tunes to the newly assigned voice
channel, keying up on that channel and
transponding the assigned SAT. But on a
NAMPS channel the hand-off is executed
with a low speed data transmission that does
not interrupt the voice. The telephone acknowledges the order in this case by a DST
message. In either case, once the hand-off
has been accomplished, the newly assigned
cell site then alerts the switch that the handoff has been completed, and the old voice
channel is dropped.
It should be noted that this data exchange
happens very quickly, lasting only as long as
260 milliseconds. However, when data or
signaling tones are transmitted, audio is
muted for the duration of that transmission
and a syllable or two may be dropped from
conversation. This is normally not a problem, but during data signaling, such as that
employed for telefacsimile, answering machine, and computer communications, significant amounts of information may be lost. For
this reason it is recommended that when
THE Cellular Connection™ equipment is
used the vehicle should be stationary to avoid
data loss during hand-offs and other data
transmissions. Otherwise the equipment
should employ an error correction protocol.

When the call is terminated by the landline
caller (not the cellular telephone user), the
central controller (switch) issues a release
order to the subscriber unit. The cellular

Using a single frequency to carry two or more
communication links (e.g., conversations) is
called multiplexing. There are two types of
multiplexing that are feasible for cellular:
code division multiplexing and time division
multiplexing. Both code division multiplexing and time division multiplexing digitize
voice before transmitting the signal. Another
type of multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, was briefly considered, then abandoned. We will deal with each type of multiplexing separately.
line, such as that shown in the accompanying illustration, will be produced.
If the varying voltages are sampled at some
rate, the instantaneous voltages can be quantified. Let’s say we want to quantify measurements from values of zero to 255 (the
maximum value a binary byte can hold). The
value of 255 would represent the highest possible voltage we could expect from voice, and
zero would represent silence. Each discrete
integer between zero and 255 would represent a particular voltage, typically presented
in binary form.Because of the redundancies
of speech and the inability of the human ear
to detect more than a fraction of the intelligence in speech, it is possible to sample a
small portion of the sound produced by a person speaking, reproduce that sound at either
a later time or another place, then filter the
resulting reproduction to produce a “sound”
that is indistinguishable from the original
source.
audio.
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) today provides a times-3 increase in the number of communication links a channel can
carry (just like NAMPS). Eventually TDMA
is expected to take full advantage of all six
time slots, allowing for six communications
links in the bandwidth of a conventional
AMPS channel.
TDMA, like CDMA, employs a form of phase
shift keying to represent symbols. However,
TDMA also compresses the digitized signal,
making use of predictive algorithms to reduce
the number of symbols actually transmitted.
Digitization and TDMA
Here three conversations, represented by
In the illustration on page 1 - 19 we saw how
speech could be sampled at some rate. Suppose we take only one of every three samples.
If our sampling rate is fast enough, and if we
can compress the samples, it turns out that
we can interleave several different conversations (communication links) on a single frequency. However, we also have to provide
some mechanism for ensuring that the transmitter and receiver are in synchronization,
and we have to provide for some alternative
to the control and response tones used in conventional AMPS. All of these non-voice signals are digital and take time from the assigned time slot, leaving only a relatively
small amount of time to represent voice. For
this reason the digital receiver has to filter
the audio to closely approximate the original
voice samples as viewed on oscilloscopes, are
clearly shown to be nothing more than varying voltages produced by microphones. Instantaneous samples are discrete voltages.
It has been shown that if the sampling rate
is fast enough, it is possible to make a faithful representation of each conversation.
If these samples are then compressed, it is
possible for more than a single conversation
to occur on a single medium (such as a radio
frequency) by sharing time slots. Here we
see three conversations being shared on six
time slots. The conversations shown are compressed sampled analog audio, not yet digitized.

voltages called audio by a microphone. The

Manual Test Mode
Introduction
Manual Test Mode software allows service
personnel to monitor the telephone status on
the display, and manually control tele-phone
functions via the keypad.
Manual Test Mode operates at two levels: 1)
Status Display level, which allows the phone
to operate normally while providing status
indications in the display; and 2) Servicing
Level, which disables normal call-processing
and allows commands to be entered through
the keypad to manually control operation of
the phone.
Entering Manual Test Mode
Manual Test Mode is entered by entering the
following keypad sequence:
FCN 0 0 * * T E S T M O D E STO
Once this key sequence is completed the Status Display screen appears. Press and hold
the # key for 2 seconds to enter in manual
test mode.
Figure 19: “Connections for PCS Testing” on
page 38 shows the recommended test setup.
Status Display Level
Status Display level is the power-up state in
manual test mode. In this level of manual
test mode the phone will place and receive
calls as normal, but the display shows two
lines of status information.
The display alternates between the channel
number, RSSI status information, and primary status information:
• SAT frequency
• Carrier state
• Signaling tone state
• Power level
• Voice/data channel mode
• Audio states
• DVCC and BER measurements
The format of this status information is
shown in Figure 17: “Test Mode Status Display (Analog Mode)” on page 35 and Figure
18: “Test Mode Status Display (Digital
Mode)” on page 36.
When dialing a phone number, the status
display ceases when the first digit of the
phone number is entered. The telephone
number is then displayed as it is entered.
When the Snd, End, or Clr button is pressed,
the status information display resumes. The
phone remains in Status Display Mode if the
# key is pressed momentarily.

Servicing Level
Servicing Level
The Servicing Level of Manual Test Mode
allows service personnel to manually control
operation of a phone by entering commands
through the telephone keypad. Parameters
such as operating channel, output power
level, muting, and data trans-mission can all
be selected by entering the corresponding
commands.
To enter the Servicing Level, press and hold
the # button for at least 2 seconds while in
Status Display level (power-up state of
manual test mode.)
In the Servicing Level, automatic call processing functions are disabled, and the phone
is instead controlled manually by keypad
commands.

Test Procedures
Introduction
The phone allows keypad controlled testing
of various analog and digital operating parameters.
This chapter includes the keypad button
functions and recommended equipment
setup to use when testing a phone.
Automatic Call-Processing Tests
Most communications analyzers can simulate a cell site in order to perform automatic
call-processing tests. Automatic call processing tests can be performed while the phone
is in its power-up state. However, it is useful
to do the tests with the phone in Test Mode
Status Display.
Refer to the communications analyzers
manual for details about performing call-processing tests. The following call-processing
test sequence is recommended:
Handoffs should be performed between low,
middle, and high frequency channels, such
as, 991 (lowest frequency), 333 (middle frequency), and 799 (highest frequency). In digital mode slots 1 & 4, 2 & 5, and 3 & 6 should
be verified.

The analog and digital parameters are stored
in EPROM on the Transceiver Board. Each
transceiver is shipped from the factory with
these parameters already calibrated. However, if a board is repaired, these parameters
should be measured and, if necessary, adjusted. Checking and adjusting calibration
parameters is also useful as a troubleshooting/diagnostic tool to isolate defective assemblies.

In order to properly measure and adjust
the parameters of a telephone, it is important that you use RF cabling that has
minimal loss. Therefore, it is important
that you test the RF cable for proper loss.
This can easily be done by using the
DUPLEX TEST screen of your HP8920.
To test the cable, set up the DUPLEX
screen as shown above.
Action:
Take the cable under test and connect it
from the RF in/out port to the Duplex
Out port. At this point you will be getting some type of power reading for cable
loss.

To test the RF cable for proper loss:
Tune Freq should be set to TX frequency: 834.990000 MHz.
RF Gen Freq should be set to
same frequency (834.990000 MHz).
Tx Power should be set to read in
dBm, not Watts.
If the reading you are getting shows gain
(positive number,) you may need to zero
the power meter. This may happen on
an HP8920 whose memory has just been
cleared.
To zero the meter, press the TX button
on the 8920 panel. Bring the cursor down
to the field under TX Pwr Zero where
it reads Zero. Tap the cursor on the Zero
field and it will highlight for a moment
as it zeroes the meter. Set up the screen
as shown above, and test your cable.

NOTE
Service personnel should be
familiar with all of the following
information before attempting
unit disassembly.
Disassembly
Introduction
To perform most repairs, the unit must be
disassembled in order to gain access to the
various internal components. Reasonable
care should be taken in order to avoid
damaging or stressing the housing and
internal components. Motorola recommends
the use of a properly grounded high impedance conductive wrist strap while
performing any of these procedures.
CAUTION
Many of the integrated circuit
devices used in this equipment
are vulnerable to damage from
static charges. An anti-static
wrist band, connected to an
anti-static (conductive) work
surface, must be worn during all
phases of disassembly, repair,
and reassembly.
Recommended T ools
The following tools are recommended for
use during the disassembly and reassembly
of the StarTAC.

after publication of this manual. For an updated list of part numbers contact an AAD
representative at the numbers listed above.
When ordering replacement parts or equipment information, the complete identification
number should be included. This applies to
all components, kits, and chassis. If the component part number is not known, the order
should include the number of the chassis or
kit of which it is a part, and sufficient description of the desired component to identify it.
Two RF ports are designed in this transceiver; internal antenna and external antenna. An RF switch controls which antenna
path is going to be used during operation.
The internal antenna will be used only when
there is no load at the EXT_ANT port.
RX Front End IC
The Front End IC is used to remove the RX
carrier frequency and produce the RX IF signal. It also has some internal buffers for the
receive signals and the VCO signals.
The RX signal is amplified within the Front
End IC and then routed to an exter-nal filter. The signal is then injected back into the
Front End IC and is mixed with the VCO and
the result is the IF signal which is filtered
prior to entering the Custom IC.
The ZIF implements the back end of the receiver. The incoming signal is attenuated,
amplified and mixed down to an extremely
low frequency (Baseband)-not quite DC. The
first amplifier and an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit adjusts the amplifier gain
to maintain a constant level in the baseband
filter.
The first mixing that occurs in the ZIF requires a 2nd Local Oscillator that is running
at 221.184MHz. The 2nd LO is divided down
then phased shifted before being mixed with
the IF signal., producing the baseband signal
The baseband signal is low-pass filtered using a programmable low-pass filter. In
TDMA mode, the baseband signal is routed
to the DCI via the RX_I and RX_Q lines. In
analog mode, the baseband signal is up-converted and then FM-demodulated, producing the DEMOD signal which is routed to
the DCI for filtering and de-emphasis.
Custom IC
The Custom IC can be divided into two functional subsystems: The ZIF (Zero-Intermediate-Frequency) which provides all of the
functions of the back-end of a receiver, and
the SYN (SYNthesizer) which contains
phase-locked loops and modulators to produce the Local Oscillator (LO) and modulated
transmit carrier.
The RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indicator) is a voltage that increases with respect
to the received signal strength. The RSSI signal has a filtering capacitance that changes
with respect to the operating mode(e.i. analog, digital).

VCO
TDMA Timeport™ P8190General Description
VCO
The VCO is a local oscillator module used to
add frequency selectivity to the transceiver.
The frequency of oscillation is dependent on
the channel and band that the trans-ceiver
will be operating in. The frequency is controlled by the Custom IC. The Custom IC will
receive channel information via the SPI bus
and adjust the frequency of the VCO by varying the voltage level to the input of the VCO.
The output of the VCO is split into two paths.
One path is used to feed back the produced
signal to the Custom IC. Then the signal is
prescaled and sent through a phase lock loop
circuit for frequency locking. The second path
is sent to the receive circuit for carrier signal removal.
TX Offset Oscillator
The offset oscillator frequency is controlled
by the Custom IC via TXCP_OUT. The operating frequency will depend on the dc biasing of CR300. The offset oscillator frequency
is 157.32MHz in analog mode, and
112.32MHz in digital mode.
The LP_Switch, which comes from the Custom IC pin 40, changes the offset frequency.
The LP_Switch is on in analog mode and off
digital mode. The LP-Switch is currently not
supported in the TDMA StarTAC, therefore,
the frequency of the offset oscillator will be
157.32MHz regardl ess of whether it is in a
nalog or digital mode.
In analog mode the FM signal comes from
the DCI pin 39 and is modulated directly in
the offset oscillator. The offset oscillator with
the FM then enters QMOD. The Quadmod
will feed back the offset frequency to the
Custom IC for proper PLL operation.
Merlin IC
The Merlin IC is a TX modulator. It takes
the TX information and modulates it on a
carrier for RF transmission. In analog mode
the offset oscillator with the FM enters the
Merlin IC and gets mixed with the main
VCO. The resulting signal is a differential
carrier with the modulated information. The
carrier is then passed through an IQ modulator.
The A_D line controls the state of the IQ
modulator. In analog mode, the IQ modulator simply feeds the carrier through to a voltage controlled amplifier(VCA). The gain of
the VCA is controlled via the AOC_CNTL
line, therefore, controlling the TX power
steps of the transceiver. Once the carrier
passes through the VCA, it passes through
the cellular final power amplifier which is
still internal to the Merlin IC
.
In digital mode the offset oscillator doesnt
contain the modulated information from the
FM line. The offset oscillator is mixed with
the main VCO and a differential out-put signal is sent through the IQ modulator. In digital mode, the A_D line configures the IQ
modulator to allow IQ modulation to the carrier. The result carrier signal is then passed
through the Voltage Controlled Amplifier
(VCA). The gain of the VCA is adjusted by
the AOC_CNTL line, thus controlling the TX
digital power steps of the transceiver. The
carrier is then routed through the cellular
final power amplifier and out to the transmit circuit.

RF Detect Circuit
Amp Drivers
After the desired transmit information is
modulated with a TX carrier frequency,
enough signal power needs to be provided for
RF transmission through the antenna. The
driver stage is used to relieve amplification
of the final stage PA. This reduces excess
heat dissipation and overloading of the final
stage PA.
The TX signal passses through FL452 and
then is amplified by Driver Amp Q401. It
then passes through Band Pass Filter FL454
before continuing to the final stage PA.
The output of Q810 is used to provide the
biasing voltage for the final stage PA(U801).
The 800BIAS voltage level determines the
operating condition of the final stage PA. A
lower voltage level at 800BIAS denotes digital mode and a higher voltage level denotes
analog mode.
PA Circuit
The final stage PA circuit provides the necessary amount of power for RF trasmission
through an antenna. U801 is a PA module
that is capable of operating in the 800MHz
band under analog or digital mode.
In analog mode linearity of the PA is not as
critical as when operating in digital mode.
For this reason, efficiency is a more important factor than linearity when operating in
analog mode.
earity is controlled by varying the biasing of
the PA(U801). Q831 controls the supply voltage to U801. The PA supply is sourced from
the B+ line.
After the TX carrier is amplified it is sent to
the duplex filter for final transmission
through the antenna. In order to maintain a
accurate power level, an RF detect circuit is
used to monitor the signal level being transmitted.
RF Detect Circuit
The RF detect circuit is used to detect the
RF amplitude level of the TX signal. RF detect reports back to the DCI pin 31, using a
dc level, for amplitude stabilization. The RF
detect circuit is RF coupled with the TX signal. The RF input is then converted into a dc
level and sent to the RF_DETECT line.
There are two stages in the RF detect circuit
which are used to increase the dynamic range
of the RF detect output. The two stages are
controlled by the TX_STEP line input.
TX_STEP is high when power steps 0
through 5 are used . TX_STEP is low when
power steps 6 through 10 are used. During
low power steps the signal is sent directly to
the RF _DET output through CR504. During high power steps the signal passes
through amplifier Q502 and then sent to the
RF_DET output through CR502.
In digital mode, because of its IQ modulation scheme, PA linearity is a more important factor than efficiency. Efficiency and lin-

Analog/Digital Switch
TDMA Timeport™ P8190General Description
Analog/Digital Switch
The switching circuits are used to define the
proper PA loads when in analog mode or digital mode.
When a high PA supply voltage is present,
the PA may begin dissipating more heat. This
may cause overheating to the Call
Processor(U1000). To protect the U1000
from overheating, power is reduced by
switching loads.

of a TDMA transceiver. It incorporates the

Charger/Batt Select
Audio/Thermistor
The cellular transceiver has the capability
of supporting two batteries, a main battery
and an auxiliary battery. Since a charger circuit is designed in this unit, there needs to
be a form of reading the thermistor values of
each battery separately. The thermistor
readings are used to determine the temperature of the battery cell which is being
charged.
In order for the call processor(U1000) to read
the thermistor values of the batteries, a voltage needs to be placed across the thermistor.
As the temperature increases the thermistor
will decrease in resistance, causing the supply level at the thermistor to decrease. The
thermistor line is pulled high by the
THERM_BIAS line.
The transceiver supports three audio output
ports; ear speaker (EAR-), headset speaker
(HDST_SPKR), and external audio port
(AUDIO_OUT). The audio path routing is
controlled by the GCAP2. The call
processor(U1000) programs the GCAP2 to
route the audio to its proper path. When the
transceiver determines that audio needs to
be routed externally, the other two audio
ports are disabled by the GCAP2(U1500).
The audio comes from the EXT_OUT line and
passes through an audio filter before being
sent to the external connector. Because the
AUDIO_OUT line has two multiplexed functions, the audio filter also acts as an isolator
to the ON/OFF function which in the same
line.
When the ear speaker is used, the EAR- and
EAR+ lines are used . The audio signals between EAR+ and EAR- is 180° out of phase.
This allows proper operation of the ear
speaker.
When a headset is attached to the transceiver, a headset detect interrupt will have
the audio only go to the headset speaker
(HDST_SPKR). Since the same EAR- line is
used for the headset and the ear speaker, the
ear speaker is disabled by inverting the EARsignal 180°. This will present two signals to
the ear speaker that have no phase shift,
thus, not allowing the ear speaker from functioning.
Charger/Batt Select
The internal charger will be activated only
when there is an external power source, a
Motorola battery is attached, the
MAN_TEST line is loaded down, and
BATT_FDBK is enabled. As SW_EXT_B+
passes thru R1566, U1500(GCAP) reads the
charge current for proper control of the
charger. CHRGC controls the rate of charge
to the batteries by varying the gate biasing
of Q1561.
The output of Q1561 is split into two different sections. The one section is the
BATT_FDBAK line. BATT_FDBK_EN
switches Q642 on or off to disable or enable
BATT_FDBAK. When BATT_FDBK is not
available, the external supply will lower its
supply to a normal operating voltage and the
internal charger will be turned. The second
section is the line to charge the batteries. The
radio is capable of charging two batteries
(Main and Auxiliary). The phone is designed
to always charge the main battery first. Once
the main battery is fully charged, it will begin charging the auxiliary battery.

DOUB Supply/Backlight
TDMA Timeport™ P8190General Description
Lines CHGR_MAIN_BATT and CHGR_AUX_BATT
selects which battery will be charged. The
dual transistor package Q600 has its outputs
controlled by CHGR_MAIN_BATT and
CHGR_AUX_BATT. Each line output of
Q600 turns on or off charge transistors Q1562
and Q1563. When Q1562 is turned on, the
main battery will be charged. When Q1563
is turned on, the auxiliary battery will be
charged.
U1570 (ABC) is used to select the B+ supply
source of the radio. SW_EXT_B+ takes priority over any other source for the B+ power
source.
DOUB Supply/Backlight
There are some circuits that require a voltage higher than the battery source. For this
reason, a voltage doubling charge pump circuit is provided. U1501 takes the 2.75V
source and oscillates it with a high peak to
peak signal. The positive region of the signal is then sent out to produced the VDOUB
supply. When the transceiver is in sleep
mode, U1501 is disabled and the VDOUB
supply will be the same level as the 2.75V
supply.
The display backlighting is controlled by the
Call processor(U1000). U1000 sends a control signal via the BACKLIGHTING line. A
high state at the BACKLIGHTING line will
switch Q1720 on. This will allow B+ to supply the BKLT_CNTL line. As a result, the
display backlighting will illuminated.
Reference Oscillator
The reference oscillator U150, operating at
19.44MHz, it provides a reference frequency for the RF synthesizers and various
logic circuits. U1000 (CPU) switches U150
on and off via the OSC_DIS line. The
Osc_DIS line switches Q151 on or off, controlling the supply voltage to U150 and Q152.
U1800 can fine tune U150 via the AFC line.
Tuning of the reference oscillator is needed
to synchronize frequencies with the cellular
base station, therefore, the signal received
from the base will be used to determine the
correct reference frequency. The ouput of
U150 is split into two signals. RF19.44MHz
is used for the RF frequency reference and
it is also amplified by Q152 and sent to the
logic section for logic clock synchronization.
STUART (U1700)
The STUART IC(U1700) is a custom gate
array that uses the following functions:
Host Port Emulation - This provides a bus
interconnection between the call processor
and the DSP via the call processors parallel
memory bus, interconnected to the modem
DSPs parallel memory bus. This communications port is functionally identical to the
host port provided for the Motorola DSP; To
both devices, the port appears as a busmapped peripheral. The call processor sees
the port as an 8-address block in memory at
a location determined by the call processors
programming of its own chip select for the
STUART IC. The DSP sees the port as an 8address block in I/O space. Because the

DSP Timer - It provides a timer function.
This is a device, accessible to the DSP, which
implement a continuously clocked timer,
with rollover, a feature needed for modem
functionality but difficult to implement with
the ATT device. The ATT timer can be set
up to either stop on count=0, or to repeat the
last count interval. We need a counter that
can be set up to interrupt at a particular point
in time, and then keeps counting, so that
real-time is preserved, and can be set for a
future time interval. This timer has a clock
that is coherent with the symbol rate.
General Purpose I/O - It provides a 4-bit
general purpose I/O port, with programming
data direction function, as an extension to
the call processor bit I/O set.
RF SPI interface - Improved interface between the Call processor, DSP, and ZIFSYN

Call Processor(U1000)
TDMA Timeport™ P8190General Description
Call Processor (U1000)
U1000 is a single-chip microcontroller that
controls major functions of the cellular phone.
U1000 will perform the functions of both the
master controller and keyboard processor.
These functions include:
Keypad interrupt and scanning
Display driving
Control of audio and RF hardware
Call processing (signalling) software
- ON/OFF control
- EEPROM access
- Synthesizer programming
- Automatic Frequency Control(AFC)
- Transmit power setting
User Interface
U1000 is not packaged with internal memories as past Call processors. This means that
vital information that was previously stored
in the memory of previous call pro-cessors is
now stored in the external EEPROM(U1003).
Memory
A serial EEPROM(U1003) of 256K bytes is
used for storage of the NAM information,
authentication keys, phasing data, ESN, and
memory. The EEPROM serial interface to the
microcontroller is a standard SPI-compatible
interface.
Analog TX Audio Processing
The analog voice signal is taken from the
microphone and digitized by the CODEC
using an A/D converter. This block also contains filtering to remove aliases before sampling. The audio samples are then transmitted to the DSP. The transmit audio functions are located in a DSP.
The nominal TX Mic. Audio adjust amplifier
is realized in software.
The 300 Hz. high-pass filter is realized using four poles and four zeros of IIR digital
filtering. The 3 kHz. low-pass filter is realized using four poles and four zeros of IIR
digital filtering.
The compressor is realized using a software
variable gain amplifier. The gain of the stage
is controlled by detecting the power at its
output and applying the result to control the
gain of the amplifier. The power detector is
realized using a full wave rectifier and one
pole and one zero of low-pass IIR digital filtering.
The pre-emphasis filter is achieved using one
pole and one zero of IIR digital filtering. This
stage also incorporates an up-shelf filter
which is realized using one pole and one zero
of IIR digital filtering.
U1300 is a 64K x 16 low voltage, low power
SRAM. U1300 uses a parallel interface bus.
U1200 is a 512K x 8 flash EPROM. U1200
uses a parallel interface bus.

The deviation limiter is realized using an
amplifier in conjunction with a 7th-order odd
polynomial with two output comparators.
The amplifier is realized in software. The
7th-order odd polynomial minimizes the
amount of spectral splatter and is realized
in software. The comparators switch as the
signal reaches a high or low threshold, thus,

are realized in software.
The post-limiter splatter filter is realized
using a 17-tap FIR digital filter. This stage
includes a down-shelf filter realized using one
pole and one zero of IIR digital filtering. The
up- and down-shelf filters work together with
the splatter filter to limit the maximum deviation of the transmitter. The TX Mic. Audio mute is realized in software.
Data/Signaling Tone (ST) is generated as a
sinusoidal signal using a look-up table. This
method produces less harmonic energy than
pure Manchester encoding would generate,
easing the requirements for filtering of this
signal.
DTMF is generated using look-up tables and
SAT processing is also performed in the
Transmit Audio Circuitry.
The summing of all Analog Transmit Modulation signals (Mic. Audio, Data/ST, DTMF
and SAT) is performed in software.
The D/A converts the audio samples to an
analog signal. The resultant analog waveform is filtered by a 5th-order low-pass
switched-capacitor filter and a two-pole, twozero continuous-time filter to remove aliases.
The Master Deviation Adjust is realized by
a digitally controlled amplifier. The resultant signal is then applied to the Analog Mod.
input of the synthesizer circuit.
Digital TX Audio Processing
The analog voice signal is taken from the
microphone and digitized by the CODEC
using an A/D converter. The codec also contains filtering to remove aliases before sampling. The audio samples are then transmitted to the DSP.
In the DSP, microphone compensation and
echo cancellation is applied to the Tx audio.
Following these processes, the DSP uses
VSELP (Vector-Sum Excited Linear Prediction) to compress the 160 samples of voice
data into 159 bits of voice data. After the data
has been compressed, the DSP separates the
voice data into class I and class II bits. A
cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is performed
on the most significant class I bits. The CRC
is used during the decoding process to determine the validity of the class I bits. Redundancy is then added to the class I bits by performing a rate-1/2 convolutional encoding
operation on the class I bits and the CRC.
The redundancy is used during the decoding
process to correct class I errors. The class II
bits are not encoded. The rate-1/2
convolutionally encoded class I bits and the
class II bits are then interleaved with speech
data from adjacent speech frames. Interleaving is used during the decoding process to
reduce the effects of burst errors. The DSP
then combines system messages with the
interleaved rate-1/2 convolutionally encoded
class I bits and class II bits. The resultant
bits are sent to a data converter to be modulated.
The data converter modulates the data using differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) to generate in-phase and
quadrature-phase data. The in-phase and

quadrature-phase data is then processed by
a 32-tap FIR digital filter which has a square
root of raised cosine frequency response with
a roll-off factor of 0.35. The subsequent inphase and quadrature-phase bit streams are
then converted to analog signals. The resultant analog waveforms are filtered to remove
aliases and then transmitted.

vary slightly. These measurements are
dependent on the accuracy of the test
equipment.
It is strongly recommended that the test
equipment calibration schedule be followed as stated by the manufacturer. RF
probes should be calibrated for each
frequency in which tests are going to be
performed.
The types of probes used will also affect
measurement values. Test probes and
cables should be tested for RF losses and
loose connections.
Because of the sensitivity of RF, measured

Description
Two RF ports are designed in this transceiver; internal antenna and external antenna. The RF switch(U704) controls which antenna path is going to be used during operation.
U704 has two control inputs which are used to control the RF routing.
The internal antenna will be used only when there is no load at the EXT_ANT port. The absence of a load at the EXT_ANT port will not bias the base of PNP transistor Q702
on. This condition will not allow TX_2.75 to be present at one of the inputs of the exclusive OR gate U700.
When a load is present at the EXT_ANT port, the base of Q702 is biased. This condition will switch Q702 off, allowing the input of U700 to be in a low state.
U700 only has one output which allows only two possible states, high or low. With this in consideration, U704 will also have only to possible states.
The states of U704 are determined by the output of U700. A low state at the output of U700 will switch Q700 on. This condition will pull the input the inverter U701-A low.
The output of U701-A will provide a high state at V2. U701-B is then used to invert the state and provide a low state at V1. Having a low state at the output of U700 will
invert all the states.
Having a high state at V2 and a low state at V1 will configure U704 to route the EXT_ANT port to the 800MHz RF path.
A low state at V2 and a high state at V1 will configure U704 to route the antenna port to the 800MHz RF path.
Only one RF port is used at a time, therefore, only one RF switch configuration is used while the other is irrevelent.
