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 driver’s 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

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.

NOTE:
In NAMPS applications, each AMPS voice channel
provides space for three NAMPS voice channels.
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 T2290/T2297Cellular 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

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.

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.
ing a call termination request to the switch.
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
telephone acknowledges with a 10kHz signalling tone burst for 1.8 seconds and the

If the call was terminated by the cellular telephone user, the telephone generates a 10kHz
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:

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.

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.

Conventional Radio
Radio uses transmitters to convert speech to
radio energy and receivers to convert radio
energy back to speech. In conventional analog radio, speech is converted into varying
voltages called audio by a microphone. The
Digitization of Voltage
A byte, consisting of 8 bits, holds 256 possible numbers (0 through 255). If the maximum voltage we might expect from our voice
samples is 2 volts, we can arbitrarily match
those voltages proportionally to our byte. The
result is a binary string representing voltages. We now have digital voice.
audio is mixed with a carrier frequency, amplified, and propagated through space as radio energy by an antenna. At the remote receiver an antenna converts the received radio energy to varying voltages at radio frequencies. The RF energy is beat against the
output from a local oscillator to produce a
difference frequency called the intermediate

which provides filtering and amplification.
A discriminator retrieves audio from the IF

TDMA Radio
TDMA radios use the same circuitry as analog radios, for the most part, but also have
additional circuitry to convert analog audio
to digitized form and vice versa, and to select the appropriate time slot.

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 analyzer’s
manual for details about performing call-processing tests. The following call-processing
test sequence is recommended:
1. Inbound call, analog mode
2. Outbound call, analog mode
3. Analog-to-Analog channel handoff
4. Analog-to-Digital channel handoff
5. Inbound call, digital mode
6. Outbound call, digital mode
7. Digital-to-Digital channel handoff
8. Digital-to-Analog channel handoff
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.
Analog Test Measurements
•RX Sensitivity (SINAD)
•RX Audio Distortion
•TX Power Out
•TX Frequency Error
•TX Audio Distortion
•TX Maximum Deviation
•TX SAT Deviation
•TX ST Deviation
Digital Test Measurements
•Digital RX Sensitivity (BER)
•Digital Power Out
•TX Frequency Error
•Digital Modulation Stability (EVM)
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.
The diagram below shows the recommended
connections for PCS testing when using the
HP83236B PCS Interface with the HP8920B
via Serial Port. Make sure to set the HP-IB/Ser switch of the HP-IB Address Selector on
the rear panel of the PCS Interface to Ser.

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.

for a particular component, AAD will make
the components available for purchase.
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.
Since this transceiver operates in two frequency bands(800MHz and 1900MHz), the
switch also controls the RF frequency paths.
Only one RF port and frequency band is used
at a time, therefore, only one RF switch configuration is used while the other is
irrevelent.
General Description
cellular band and 192.36 MHz in the PCS
band. The RX loop operates from 981-1006
MHz in the cellular band and from 1021-1051
MHz in the PSC band. The IC also provides
regulator and superfilter functions for its
synthesizer and the external VCOs. The IF
portion of the IC operates with an input frequency of 112.32 MHz. The IC is linear up
to the I and Q outputs of the baseband filters, can operate with internal or external
AGC, and has a minimum dynamic range of
-96.5 to -5.5 dBm. Both ZIF and SYN sections of the IC contain battery saving circuitry controlled by the SPI, and activated
by an external pin.
RX Front End
In 800MHz mode, the receive signal is mixed
with the VCO and the result is the IF signal
which is filtered prior to entering the ZIF/
SYN IC.
In 1900MHz mode, the VCO signal goes
through a frequency doubler before getting
mixed with the 1900MHz receive signal. This
process allows the 1900MHz carrier frequency to be removed without the need of a
second VCO.
NADC/PDC ZIF/SYN IC
The NADC/PDC ZIF/SYN is a 2.75 volt 81
pin BGA. It provides two fractional N phase
locked loops for use with external VCOs. The
transmit loop operates at 157.32 MHz in the
TX Operational Description
For the 800 Mhz band, the TX carrier frequency is generated by mixing the main VCO
signal with the offset VCO.In analog mode,
the Offset VCO is modulated to provide FM.
In digital mode, the mixer output feeds an
IQ modulator which is bypassed in analog
mode.The signal passes through attenuators
before being fed to the driver amplifier with
bandpass filters and then it is sent to the 2
stage power amplifier. The Offset VCO, TX
mixer, IQ modulator and amplifiers are contained within a custom integrated circuit.
The MerlinTX is a custom IC intended to provide IQ modulator, power control, and exciter
functions for IS-136 TDMA portable cellular

phones. Both cellular and PCS bands are
supported. The following functional blocks
are contained in the IC:
• Feedback amplifier for offset synthesis
• Offset mixer for transmit generation
• Quadrature Modulator
• VCA for transmit power control
• Cellular PA and PCS PA
• Upconverter for PCS operation
For the 1900 Mhz band, the signal from the
Offset VCO mixes with the main VCO to provide the TX IF.The signal,after passing
through a series of attenuators, is filtered
and mixed with the Main VCO signal to generate the 1900 TX carrier frequency.This signal goes throught the amplifying stages.The
synthesizer consists of a ZIF/SYN IC that contains a reference divider, phase detector
circuitry,prescaler,regulators and a charge
pump as well as some circuitry for the Offset
VCO.
The reference frequency source for the Main
VCO is provided by a temperature controlled
crystal oscillator.
In analog mode, DTMF, ST and SAT (among
other things) are used to modulate the Offset VCO.In both 800 MHz and 1900 MHz digital modes, audio coming in from the microphone is filtered, digitized and structured into
a TDMA time slot. A directional coupler and
detector circuit at the output of the power
amplifier provides a carrier power indicator
to the logic unit, which then uses this value
as feedback to set the voltageto the voltage
controlled attenuator in an automatic power
control loop.Power output is continually
monitored.
The transmitter and receiver are duplexed
with bandpass filters to a switch that feeds
the signal to either the antenna connector or
the external antenna jack.
Analog TX Audio Processing
The analog voice signal coming in through
the microphone is taken by the CODEC and
digitized.The samples produced by this step
are then sent to the DSP.The following steps
are realized with software implementation:
• Nominal TX Mic. Audio adjust amplifier
• Compressor -using a variable gain ampli-
fier that controls the stage’s gain by detecting the power at its output and applying the
result to control the gain
• Deviation Limiter – using an amplifier in
conjunction with a 7th order odd polynomial
with two output comparators. The polynomial
reduces the amount of spectral splatter while
the comparators switch as the signal reaches
a high or low threshold.
• Audio mute
• Summing of all analog transmit modula-
tion signals (Mic. Audio, Data/ST, DTMF and
SAT)
A post-limiter splatter filter works with an
up-shelf and a down-shelf filter to limit the
maximum deviation of the transmitter.Data/
Signaling Tone is generated as a sinusoidal
signal using a look-up table, which eases the
filtering requirements for this signal because
of the reduced harmonic energy it entails.
DTMF is generated using look-up tables and
SAT processing is also performed in the
Transmit Audio Circuitry.
The D/A converts audio samples to an analog signal. This signal is then filtered and

Digital TX Audio Processing
The analog voice signal coming in through
the microphone is taken by the CODEC and
digitized. The samples are transmitted to the
DSP where microphone compensation and
echo cancellation processes take place. The
DSP uses ACELP to compress the samples
into data bits.These bits are interleaved with
speech data from adjacent speech frames for
error protection. System messages are then
combined with the data bits and sent to the
data converter for modulation. The data converter modulates the data using differential
quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK). The
bit streams generated from this step are converted to analog signals which are filtered
before being transmitted.

has write access to the data buffer and the
SPI control register. Data is written in using
8 bit words and sent via the RF SPI as either
a 96 bit or 16 bit write. The SPI clock speed
is selectable as either 4.86MHz or 1.215MHz.
The external SPI clock automatically stops
after each write. The internal SPI clock can
be disabled to save current. A maskable interrupts are available at the end of each SPI
write.

Service Diagrams
Introduction
The service diagrams were carefully prepared
to allow a Motorola certified technician to
easily troubleshoot cellular phone failures.
Our professional staff provided directional
labels, color coded traces, measurement values and other guidelines to help a technician
troubleshoot a cellular phone with speed and
accuracy.
We worked hard in trying to provide the best
service diagrams, therefore, to avoid cluttered diagrams, we excluded some components from the service diagrams. Our professional staff carefully selected to excluded
components that are unlikely to fail.
Test Point Measurements
nections.
Because of the sensitivity of RF, measured
readings will be greatly affected if they’re
taken in certain locations. To get the most
accurate readings, take measurements nearest to the labeled measurement on the service diagram.
The measurements labeled on the service
diagrams are approximate values and may
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 con-
A100 is the internal antenna port for dual band operation(800 &1900MHz). An antenna tap(J100) is used to allow a RF connection to test equipment for proper diagnostic
testing. When nothing is inserted in J100, the switch is closed, allowing the internal antenna path to be used. If a connection is inserted in J100, the switch will open, not
allowing the internal antenna path to be used. During this state the external RF path will be used.
Diplexer FL100 is used to isolate the two operating frequency bands. The cellular(800MHz) frequencies will be routed to duplexer F500. The PCS(1900MHz) frequencies
will be routed to duplexer FL453.
F500 is a 800MHz duplexer used to isolate the cellul ar(800MHz) transmit and receive frequencies. FL453 is a 1900MHz duplexer used to isolate the PCS(1900MHz) transmit and receive frequencies.

Descriptio n
The RX front end IC(U10) is used as a first amplifier an d downconverter for dual-band RF applications. It removes the RX carrier frequency to produce the RX IF signal. U10 also
has some internal LNAs for the receive signals and buffers for the VCO signals.
U10 has two RF input ports. One is used for the 800MHz receive signal and the other is used for the 1900MHz receive signal. Both signals are amplified within U10 and then routed to an external filter(FL10, FL30). The signal is then inje cted into the Down Converter of U10.
In 800MHz mode, the receive signal is mi xed with the VCO and the result is the receive intermediate frquency(IF) signal which is filt ered by FL20 prior to entering the ZIF/ZYN
IC(U110).
In 1900MHz mode, the VCO output (DBLR_IN) goes through a frequency doubler internal to U10 before getting mixed with the 1900MHz receive signal. This process allows the
1900MHz carrier frequency to be removed without the need of a second VCO.
Line 800*_1900 is used to select which frequency path will be enabled for U10. Line 800*_1900 is high in 800MHz mode and low in 190 0MHz mode.
Line FE_EN enables or disables normal operation of U10. A low state at FE_EN will disable U10. This line is use d to disable U10 when the transceiver is in it's idle or transmit
slot state. It is also used during sleep mode conditions.

U110(ZIF_SYNTH) 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 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. C109 is used to add stability
to the AGC circuit.
The first mixing that occurs in th e ZIF requires a 2nd Local Oscillator that is running at 221.184MHz. The 2nd LO is divided down the n 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 sign al is routed to U1800(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 rou ted to U1800(DCI) for filtering and deemphasis.
The RSSI(Receive Signal Strength Indicator) is a voltage that increases with respect to the received signal strength.
The SPI Bus is a serial interface used to program the internal filters and frequency dividers for U110, allowing selectivity of cellular channels.
RF 19.44Mhz input is used to provide a frequency reference for U110.

Description
U306 is the local oscillator module used to add frequency selectivity to the transceiver. The frequency of oscillation is dependent on the channel and frequency band that
the transceiver will be operating in. The frequency is controlled by U110. U110 will receive channel information via the SPI bus and adjust the frequency of U306 by
adjusting the voltage level to the input (VCO_STEER) of U306.
The output of U306 is split into two paths. One path (VCO_FDBK) is used to feed back the generated signal to U110. The signal is prescaled and sent through a phase
detector for proper frequency locking. The second path (VCO_OUT) is sent to the front end IC(U10). This signal is used for proper downconversion of the receive signal.
When the transceiver is operating in the 800MHz band, U306 will oscillate at a frequency of 112.32+RX frequency. In the 1900MHz band, U306 will oscillate at a frequency of (112.32+RX)/2.
RX_SF (Super Filter) comes from U110 and provides a clean supply voltage to the VCO module.
LP_SWITCH control comes from U110. In Analog mode, the input to Q880 becomes high causing it to switch on. This condition will complete the filter circuit path
to ground, thus allowing the filter ciruitry to become active on the VCO_STEER line. This filter circuit is used to improve phase noise due to stringent adjacent channels
in Analog mode.
The RXCP_AD A is a loop filter adapt output. During a high current state R893 will be grounded. This will increase the loop filter bandwidth by decreasing the amount
of resistance at the discharge path of C884. During low curent conditions R893 will not be grounded. This will decrease the loop filter bandwidth by increasing the
amount of resistance at the discharge path of C884.

Description
The offset oscillator frequency is controlled by U110(Z IF/SYN) via TXCP_OUT. The operating frequency will depend on the dc biasing of CR300. The offset oscillator
frequency is 157.32MHz in 800MHz mode, an d 192.36MHz in 1900MHz mode.
The two operating frequencies are controlled by the 800*_1900 line. A high state at 800*_1900 will switch Q351 on. This condition will bypass path to ground for C316,
thus C316 is not be active with the tank circuit. During this state, the TX offset oscillator will operate at 192.36MHz. A low state at 800*_1900 will switch Q351 off.
This condition will allow C316 to remain active with the tank circuit. During this state the TX offset oscillator will operate at 157.32MHz.
The TXCP_ADA is a loop filter adapt output. During a high current state R308 will be grounded. This will increase the loop filter bandwidth by decreasing the amount
of resistance at the discharge path of C303. During low curent conditions R308 will not be grounded. This will decrease the loop filter bandwidth by increasing the
amount of resistance at the discharge path of C303.
LP_SWITCH control comes from U110. In Analog mode, the input to Q301 becomes high causing it to switch on. This condition will complete the filter circuit path
to ground, thus allowing the filter ciruitry to become active on the VCO_STEER line. This filter circuit is used to improve phase noise due to stringent adjacent channels
in Analog mode.
In analog mode the FM signal comes from U1800(DCI) pin 39 and is modulated directly in the offset oscillator. The offset oscillator with the FM then enters U301
(QMOD). The Quadmod (U301) will fe ed back the offset frequency to U1 10 for proper PLL(Phase Locked Loop) operation.

Description
U301 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 U301 and gets mixed with the main VCO. The resulting signal i s 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 though 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 p ower amplifier which is still intern al to U301.
In digital mode the offset oscillator doesn't contain the modulated information from the FM line. The offset oscillator is mixed with the main VCO and a differential output 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.
When operating in the 800MHz band the carrier is routed through the cellular fi nal power amplifier and out to the 800MHz transmit circuit. In 1900MHz mode the cellular final power amplifier is disabled via the 800*_1900 line and t he VCA output is routed to filter FL350 for noise and spurious performance improvement. The differential output is then routed into a PCS upconverter where the signal is upconvertered to a PCS frequency by mixing the carrier signal wi th the main VCO. The output of the
PCS upconverter is then routed to a Balun(XFMR377) for single ended signal conversion. The newly created single ended TX carrier signal is then filtered by FL413 and
routed through the PCS power amplifier internal to U301 before entering the 1900 TX exciter circuit.
The TX_STEP line is used to control the biasing to the cellular final a mplifier, PCS final amplifier, and the PCS upconverter. This line is us ed as a course gain control for
the final amplifiers and PCS upconverter.

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
exciter stage is used to relieve amplification of the final stage PA. This reduces excess heat dissipati on and overloading of the final stage PA.
In 800MHz mode, the TX signal passses through FL452 and then is a mplified by Q401. Q401 is driven on by suppling DRIVER_B+ through Q475-A. Q475-A can be
switched on or off via the 800KEY line. In 800MHz TX mode, 800KEY is low. This state brings the gate of Q475-A to a low level, causing Q475-A to switch on.
There are two operating modes in the 800MHz band, analog and digital. In 800MHz mode Q810 is switched on with a low level of the gate. The output of Q810 will then
be used to provide the biasing voltage for the final stage PA(U801).
The 800BIAS voltage level determ ines 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. In analog mode, A_D is pulled high causing Q811 to be switched off. This state causes a voltage drop across R811, thus, having a lower voltage
level at 800BIAS. In digital mode A_D is pulled low causing Q811 to be switched on. During this state R811 is bypassed and 800BIAS will have a higher voltage level.
In 1900MHz mode, the TX signal is ampli fied by Q411. Q411 is driven on by suppling DRIVER_B+ through Q475-B. Q475-B can be switched on or off via the
1900KEY line. In 1900MHz mode, 1900KEY is low. This state brings the gate of Q475-B to a low level, causing Q475-B to switch on.
1900BIAS provides the proper biasing voltage for the final stage PA(U901). 1900BIAS is supplied from TX_2.75. In 1900MHz mode, having 1900KEY low will switch
Q910 on.

U901
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 anal og or digital mode.
In analog mode linearity of the PA is not as critical as when operating in digital mode. For this reason, effeiciency is a more important factor than linearity when operating in analog mode. In digital mode, because of its IQ modulation scheme, PA linearity is a more important factor than efficiency.
Efficiency and lineari ty is controlled by varying the biasing of the PA(U801). In 1900MHz mode only one biasing method is needed since 1900M Hz mode only operates
in digital mode.
Q1807 controls the supply voltage to U801. The PA supply is sourced from the B+ line. In 800MHz mode, 800KEY is held low ca using Q1807 to switch on. When
800KEY is pulled high, Q1807 is turned off and the supply to U801 is cut off.
Q901 controls the supply voltage to U901. The PA supply is sourced from the B+ line. In 800MHz mode, 1900KEY is held low causing Q901 to switch on. When
1900KEY is pulled high, Q901 is turned off and the supply to U901 is cut off.
After the TX carrier is amplified it's sent to the duplex filter for final transmission through the antenna.

Description
The RF detect circuit is used to detect the RF amplitude level of the TX signal. RF detect reports back to U1800(DCI) pin 31, using a dc level, for amplitude stabilization. The RF
detect circuit is RF coupled with the TX sign al from either band, 800MHz or 1900MHz. 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 .
CR503
Q502
CR502
When TX_STEP is low Q503-A is switched on and Q503-B is switched off. Q501 inverts the state of Q503-B. This operation forward biases diode CR504. At the same time it cuts
off the supply to diode CR502, thus not forward biasing CR502. Whe n TX_STEP is high Q503-A is switc hed off and Q503-B is switched on. This operation cuts off the supply to
diode CR504. At the same time current is supplied to amplifier Q502 and CR502. 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.
Proper PA loads need to be defined when operating in 800MHz analog and 800MHz digital mode. This is done by making Load B active or inactive on the PA output path. When
transmitting in 800MHz analog mode, LOAD A is used and LOAD B is bypassed. LOAD B is bypassed by allowing CR8 22 to be forward biased. Forward biasing CR822 will provide a ground state at the anode side, thus allowing only LOAD A(C823) to be present.
CR822 is forward biased by having a supply voltage present at the AD_SW line. When the A_D line is pulled d own, Q505 is switched on, forcing the base of Q821 low. PNP transistor Q821 will then b e switched on, allowin g the output(AD_SW) to be pulled high from SW_QMOD_KEY.
In 800MHz digital mode, CR821 is not forward biased, thus having CR821 in an open state. During this state LOAD A and LOAD B are used for the PA load. To have CR822 in an
open state, AD_SW is not pulled high by SW_QMOD_KEY. The AD_SW state is determined by the A_D line . Having a high state at A_D would switch Q505 off, thus not switching Q821 oon.
