Troubleshooting Summary

If TX power is low, turn on transmitter in local mode using Phoenix. Check:
1 Current (0.7 - 1 A for max power, mode and channel dependent),
2 Perform visual inspection of PWB under microscope to check proper placement,
rotation, and soldering of components.
3 Look for presence of TX signal on spectrum analyzer at the correct frequency. If
signal is not on frequency, check in 100 MHz span. If signal is present but off fre­quency, check synthesizer. If signal is not present, or present but low in ampli­tude, use probing Tables 1 through 7 to determine where in the chain the fault occurs, with AGC PDMs set for known transmit power as listed in Table 1.
4 Check that AGC PDMs are set for desired TX power according to Table 1 and
ensure AGC voltages are correct.
5 According to Tables 2 and 3 (cell/AMPs), check the LOs for proper frequency and
amplitude.
6 Ensure power supplies to transmitter have correct voltage, as per Table 13.

3 Perform a visual inspection of the PWB under a microscope to check proper
placement, rotation, and soldering of components.
4 Use probing Tables 8 through 12 to measure signal levels of various points in the
chain and determine where in the chain the fault lies.
5 According to Tables 9, 10, and 12 check the LOs for proper frequency and ampli-
tude.
6 Ensure power supplies to receiver have correct voltage as per Table 13.

Tuning Description
Test 1 TS Initial Current
Description
Check initial current consumption at start-up to make sure phone is consuming correct amount of current.
Explanation of Result
Phones current consumption is measured and should be between 5mA and 100 mA.
Manual Verification
Check using Power Supply and Multimeter, example follows. Power Off phone and follow setup below to verify if phone’s current consumption is correct.
1 Positive Banana connector on Test Fixture to Power Supply +
2 Ground Banana connector on Test Fixture to | on Multimeter
3 Jumper cable between Power Supply (-) and Multimeter (input low)
4 Set Multimeter to measure current (DC|)
5 Multimeter should have an initial reading, this is the current being drawn by the
6 Place phone in Test Fixture
7 Press Power key to turn phone on
8 Observe current draw at Multimeter. It should be between 5.0mA and 100.0mA.
Troubleshooting
If phone drains all available current:
Check VBAT and do a visual inspection of all baseband ICs including orientation. VBAT supplies the D200 (UEM), N603 (Tomcat), N801 (PA), X101, N100, B302, M300, N300, and X470.
Text Fixture. Null out the Multimeter to Zero the reading.
If the phone has initial current consumption at start-up then powers down:
If, after a few seconds, all circuits power down, it is normally caused because the watch­dog signal between UEM (200) and UPP (D400) has expired. Watchdog is used by the phone for fault detection.
Check voltage regulators for correct voltage. If voltage is low or not present, check for shorts.

Test 2 BB Flash Phone
Description
The purpose of this test is to verify that the phone software was downloaded at panel flash. If download was not successful, phone will try and flash for a second time.
Explanation of Result
Pass or Fail
Manual Verification
Manual flashing using Prommer Box and Phoenix at bench.
1 Make sure correct connection is configured at FPS-8. First, set up FPS-8 with
serial (AXS-4) and parallel cables. Next, power up box with 6-volt supply and place communication cable XCS-4 between FPS-8 and Flash Adapter (FLA-44), FLAL Fixture MJS-82, or JBV-1 (with adapter MJF-28).
2 Make sure that Phoenix’s connection is correct. In Phoenix, select File>Manage
Connections>Add>Mode to manual>Media to FBUS>Port NUM 1 or 2 (this is dependent on Local PC com port selection)>Bit Rate to 115200>COMBOXDEF_MEDIA to FBUS; then Apply.
3 Check that Prommer Box FPS-8 is correctly configured. In Phoenix, go to Flash-
ing>FPS-8/FPS-8C Maintenance. Make sure current version is A2.10.

CCS Technical Documentation Troubleshooting — RF
4 Next, try and flash phone using correct SW version. In Phoenix: Flashing>FPS-8
Flash>Press Flash. Next select OK from pop-up screen. Under next screen, Flash File Selection, choose Image File “set”. In correct directory where you store your flash files (usually programs, then Nokia, Phoenix, Flash) select correct Flash SW xxxxxxx.nep (if not sure what correct SW to use, file name should match SW in a known good phone. To check this, take good phone in Phoenix and go Prod­uct>Phone Information and check MCU SW Version). Once correct SW file is found, select OK. You will be prompted to save settings, select “yes”. Flashing should begin at this point. For first time, set up of prommer this could take a few minutes due to PC loading file to prommer RAM first. After first use, prommer stores this in internal RAM and should proceed faster with subsequent phones downloading of flash software. If phone passes, then more than likely a false fail. If phone fails, read prommer failure code and use Code Sheet in TS.
Troubleshooting
Make sure phone has PSN and SW version is correct by checking Phone Information. Ref­erence the following guides to TS flash problem: Haukka BB Operation doc, Prommer Codes, and Flash Block Diagram.

Record the TX signal power from the antenna connector using a spectrum analyzer cen­tered at 836.52Mhz. (The self-test measures the power detector reading instead, but at the present time this cannot be done with Phoenix, therefore an easy way to check func­tionality without removing the covers is to check transmitted power. If the covers are removed, the voltage on PWR_OUT, at probing point J603 can be measured.) Transmitted power should be greater than 24dBm. (PWR_OUT greater than 1.91v, which corresponds to the power detector ADC=700).
For each of the next three cases, TX power should be less than 24dBm (less than 1.91v on PWR_OUT.
1. TX_IF_AGC to -80 TX_RF_AGC to -512, PA_AGC to -512
2. TX_IF_AGC to +511, TX_RF_AGC to -512, PA_AGC to +511
3. TX_IF_AGC to -80 TX_RF_AGC to +511 PA_AGC to +511.
Troubleshooting
If there is a failure associated with only some of the cases above, check the AGC voltages and components of the associated PDMs as described in Table 1. For problems with the IF or RF AGC, also check Robin and supporting components. For PA AGC problems, also check the PA and supporting components. If all of the above cases fail, troubleshoot the TX chain as described in Probing/Troubleshooting Tables. If all the output powers are passing, then perhaps the test is failing because the ADC voltage is wrong (which at this point we cannot read, so we are measuring the actual output power). This can be verified by measuring the voltage on the PWROUT probing point J603, the limit is 1.64v. If the voltages are wrong, then check the power detector at R801, L801, R805, and C807, and also Robin. If the voltages are correct and it still fails, check the UEM (D200).

This is one of the phone’s self-tunings, which reads the ADC voltage of a thermistor R808, and checks to make sure the phone is at room temperature. The reason for this is that we don’t want to tune a phone while it is hot or cold.
Explanation of Result
The phone reports the ADC voltage value of the thermistor, and it should be within the limits.
Manual Verification

in mind that if there is a short circuit on the board, then it will get hot very quickly. In Phoenix, go to ADC readings and verify Power Amplifier Temperature, ADC value will go down as Temperature goes up.
Troubleshooting
If the phone was recently transmitting in Cell band at full power for an extended period of time, it is probably hot for that reason. Let it cool down for a few minutes, then try again. If it still fails, there may either be a short on the board or else a problem with the PA Temp circuitry. To check PA Temp circuitry, check R808, C231, R207, and D200. If a short is suspected, check the PA (N801).

Explanation of Result:
Amplitude of TX signal.
Manual Verification:
Set the phone to local mode and turn on the AMPS transmitter set to channel 384. Set the PDM values as listed in Table 1 for AMPS Power Level 5. Look for an output signal at

as listed in Table 1 for AMPS Power Level 5. Read the phone's current on the power sup­ply and check to see that it is within the limits. If the power supply does not display cur­rent draw, use a current meter in series with the phone. If the phone powers down when the mode is set, it may be that the phone is drawing more current than the current limit setting on the power supply.
Troubleshooting:
If current is very high, there may be a short circuit on the phone caused by a solder bridge, a failed component that is internally shorted, a component placed with the wrong rotation which shorts two nodes that shouldn't be, or some other reason. A visual inspection can find solder bridges or wrong component rotations. A failed component can be found by functional tests of the phone's sub-blocks.
Test 39 TN VCTCXO Frequency Limits [-150, 150]
Description:
The purpose of this tuning is to determine what the AFC DAC value needs to be in order to center the VCTCXO frequency. The CDMA transmitter is turned on and no TX baseband modulation is provided. The carrier is then centered in frequency. This is done to the car­rier after it has been mixed up to 836.52 MHz, since it's easier to measure the tolerance of 1 ppm at 836.52 MHz than it is at 19.2 MHz. Additionally the tone at 836.52 MHz can be measured without taking the phone apart.
Explanation of Result:
The result is a frequency offset in Hz of the 836.52 MHz carrier which must be within +/
- 150 Hz.
Manual Verification:
Using the RF Main Mode window in Phoenix, turn on the CDMA transmitter, and set it to channel 384. Do not add any modulation(Rho).
Using the RF Batch Tuning window, you can check the VCTCXO tuning value. Look for a transmitted tone on the spectrum analyzer at 836.52 MHz. If no tone is present, proceed to troubleshooting section.
Go to Phoenix PDM Control and follow instructions that follow. Center the carrier to within +/- 150 Hz of 836.52 MHz. (If sidetones are present, be careful to center the car­rier and not one of the sidetones, which will probably have a higher amplitude than the carrier.) The values you enter in the "values" edit box are the AFC values which control the VCTCXO frequency. Start with a value of 0, then adjust until it is centered, staying within the limits.
Troubleshooting:
If there is no tone, probe pin 3 of G501 for a tone at 19.2 MHz. If this is not present check power supplies, particularly ensure 2.7v on VCTCXO Vcc pin, pin 4 of G501. Also check the control pin, pin 1 of G501, for a voltage between 0.4 and 2.7 v. If the voltages are correct, and soldering of all G501 terminals is correct, replace G501. If 19.2 MHz tone

CCS Technical Documentation Troubleshooting — RF
is present but tone at 836.52 MHz is not, troubleshoot CDMA TX chain as described in Tables 2 and 3.
If the carrier is present but it cannot be centered, there is a hardware problem. Check Table 7.
In the following procedure, performing frequency centering on the RF carrier at 836.52 MHz will detect frequency errors due to the VCTCXO and supporting hardware, which will be the majority of the problems, but will not detect frequency errors due to the hardware that uses VCTCXO tone at 19.2 MHz as a reference for VHF PLL's. Check then the VHF and UHF LO's should be at correct frequency. Since this will be time consuming and will probably only account for a small percentage of the failures, it is not recom­mended unless the situation justifies the time spent. The VHF LO is inside the Robin IC (N601) and troubleshooting of the cell UHF LO is according to Table 5.
If the carrier cannot be centered, check to see if you can adjust to 2.2v on pin 1 of G501. If you can, within the PDM range of +/- 150, then the circuitry that delivers the voltage is working correctly, and the VCTCXO has a problem. Troubleshoot it as described in the previous section. If you cannot adjust to 2.2v within the accepted range, then the AFC circuitry has a problem. Troubleshoot it as described in the previous section.
In the case that there is a fault with both the AFC circuitry and the VCTCXO, then several combinations of the previously described conditions are possible. Start by ensuring 2.2v on pin 1 of G501 using a PDM within the range +/- 150, then center the tone.

Description:
These tunings model the cell PA gain curve by setting the PA AGC PDM to several values and measuring output power. First, the TX PA AGC and the TX RF AGC are set to (approx­imately) their maximum used values (not the maximum possible values, but the maxi­mum of the range over which they are used). Then the TX IF AGC is set so that the transmit power on the antenna connector is approximately +11 dBm (this power is reported in the next tuning). Then, six PDM values are written to the PA AGC and the output power is measured for each. These values are reported in this tuning. The soft­ware then performs curve fitting to interpolate between the measured data points.
Explanation of Result:
The result is the transmitted power in dBm for each of the six PA AGC PDM settings (results labeled 0 through 5).
Manual Verification:
Turn on the cell CDMA transmitter in Phoenix using the RF Main Mode window, and set it to channel 384. Set modulation to IS95 voice in CDMA Control.

Troubleshooting — RF CCS Technical Documentation
Troubleshooting:
If the power readings are low, check the AGC voltages as in Table 1. You can also probe on the PA input as in Table 2 to find out if the power level is low going into the PA, or if the power level is correct going into the PA but the PA gain is too low. If the power level going into the PA is too low, probe the TX chain at all the other points prior to the PA listed in the table to see where the gain is lacking. When that point is identified, check the soldering of all related components, and replace components until the fault is found. If the power on the PA input is not low and the PA AGC voltage is correct, similarly probe the power at all points after the PA to find the fault, being extremely careful not to short the probing point to ground because this will instantly destroy the PA. Visually check sol­dering first, and probe on PA output as a last resort.

Test 61 - 67 TN TX Gain Comp Cell Po MD (or LO, LM, ML, MH, HM, or HI)
Description for this and next tuning:
This tuning ensures that the value of TxdBCtr correctly corresponds to the absolute TX output power. On the mid channel, with TxdBCtr set to a specified value, G_Offset is adjusted so that the output power is -8.0 dBm, and that value of G-Offset is recorded (which is an absolute value) in the next tuning. The output power in dBm is recorded in this tuning. After this is done on the mid channel, the channel is changed to each of the other channels, and output power is reported. (G_offset is not adjusted on the other channels as it was on the center channel, just the output power is recorded).
Explanation of Result:
The result is the transmitted power in dBm, which should be -8.25 to -7.75 dBm.
Manual Verification
Set the phone to local mode and program it to Cellular CDMA RX/TX mode on channel 384 using the Main Mode window.
Using the Phoenix PDM Control window, adjust Tx RF AGC "values" dialog box until the TX output power (measured on the RF connector with a spectrum analyzer) is equal to -
8.25 to -7.75 dBm. Once this is done on the center channel, change to each of the other
channels using CDMA Rx/Tx screen, and record the power. Do not adjust Tx RF AGC on the other channels, just record the power. It should be within the limits listed below.

Explanation of Result:
The result is the value of G_Offset which gives -8.0 dBm transmitted power.
Manual Verification:

Troubleshooting:
If G_Offset is not within the limits, troubleshoot the Cell TX as described in the begin­ning of this document.
Test 69 - 75 TN TX Limiting PO IS95 Cell, Low channel (or LowMid, MidLow, Mid, MidHigh, HighMid or High channel)
Description:
This tuning provides an upper limit on the transmit power while in Cell IS95 mode. The reason for this is to ensure that the phone never violates the SAR (Specific Absorption Ratio) limit, which is a health and safety specification that limits the amount of radia­tion near the user's head. The phone is set to transmit and TxdBCtr is adjusted for the maximum transmit power.
Explanation of Result:
The result is a power level in dBm, which is the maximum allowed. This is done on each of the seven channels.
Manual Verification:
Using Phoenix, set the phone to local mode, then turn on the Cell transmitter set to each of the channels in the list below. Set modulation to IS95 voice using CDMA Control.
Using the RF Tuning window, adjust TX RF AGC in PDM Control "value" until the TX power, measured on the RF connector with a spectrum analyzer, is within the limits on each of the channels below.

Test 100 -101 TS ACPR Cell - High(Low) Offset
Description:
ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) is a measure of band power in the adjacent chan­nel as compared to the tuned channel, so it is a power delta in dB. Band power is mea­sured at the center tuned frequency and also at an offset lower (higher) than the center frequency, and the difference is ACPR. For this test, the offset is -0.9 MHz (+ 0.9 MHz).
Band power is integrated power over a frequency band, rather than at a single frequency. The bandwidth for the measurement centered at the tuned frequency is the bandwidth of the signal, which for IS95 is 30 kHz.
Explanation of Result:
Result is ACPR (a power delta) in dB.
Manual Verification:
Set the phone in local mode, and turn on the Cell transmitter set to channel 384. Use the TX Limiting function in the RF Tuning window to set the transmit power to the maximum value (within the limits for the "TX Limiting" tuning Test 72). Observe the TX signal on the spectrum analyzer. If the spectrum analyzer being used has a CDMA personality card, then ACPR can be read directly off the screen. If not, then set the bandwidth to 30 kHz, and set the averaging on. Center the marker at 836.52 MHz and note the power in dBm. Use the offset marker to measure the power at an offset of +/- 0.9 MHz.
Troubleshooting:
If one or more of the AGC values needs a value much higher than normal to achieve maximum power, then that would indicate that a component in the chain has less gain (or more loss) than it should, and another component that is compensating for that could be saturating. Use the AGC information as a guide to troubleshoot the Tx chain as described in Table 1a, especially being careful to check all decoupling capacitors C633, C649, C648, C619, C817, C810, C811, and C813. Severely degraded ACPR is detectable just by looking at the shape of the CDMA curve, therefore you can also probe each point in the TX chain to see if ACPR becomes degraded at one point.
Tests 103 - 109 TN AMPS PL2 Po Low (LowMid, MidLow, Mid, MidHigh, HighMid, or High)
Description:
This procedure tunes the AMPS transmit Power Level 0 on seven channels by adjusting TxdBCtr. The channels are: Low= 991, LowMid= 107, MidLow= 245, Mid= 384, MidHigh= 521, HighMid= 660, High=799. The algorithm then interpolates between the measured points for frequency compensation.
Explanation of Result:
The result is measured transmit power in dBm for power level 0 on each of the seven channels.

Manual Verification:
Set the phone to local mode and turn on the AMPS transmitter to the channel which failed on Power Level 2. (adjusting for cable loss).
Troubleshooting:

Tests 111 - 115 TN AMPS PL3 (or 4, 5, 6, or 7) Po
Description:
This procedure tunes power levels 3 through 7, all on the center channel. Power level 0 was tuned in the previous test. (Power levels 0, 1 and 2 are the same for this phone.)
Explanation of Result:
The result is measured transmit power in dBm for power levels 3 through 7 on channel 384.
Manual Verification:
Use the same procedure as in previous tuning, but on channel 384 selecting correspond­ing Power Level. Note that the limits are different from the previous tuning.
Troubleshooting:
Troubleshoot the cell transmitter as described in the beginning of this document, setting the AGCs as in Table 1 for the power level which failed.
Test 118 TN TX DC Offset Carrier Suppression
Description:
The DC offset voltages on the I and Q inputs to the modulator are adjusted for minimal carrier feedthrough (maximum carrier suppression). Initially the DC offsets are set to a nominal value, and the power of a tone offset in frequency 20 kHz from the carrier is measured in dBm and recorded as a reference (in this tuning). Then in the next tuning, the carrier suppression (delta between center tone and tone that is offset 20 kHz) is measured. If it passes, it is reported in that tuning. If not, the DC offsets are adjusted until it passes, and the passing value is reported. This step reports the delta between the reference at 836.52 MHz + 20 kHz, and the minimum carrier level at 836.52 MHz.
Explanation of Result:
The result is a delta in dB between the reference at 836.52 MHz + 20 kHz, and the mini­mum carrier level at 836.52 MHz, found by adjusting the DC offsets for I and Q individu­ally. The delta should be at least 35 dB.
Manual Verification:
Set up the phone as in the next Test 119 , and record the reference power of the offset tone. Measure the delta between the center and offset tones. If the delta is 35 dB or greater, the phone passes. If less than 35 dB, vary the "I" DC offset on the "values" line in

the RF Tuning window, using the below listed values until the minimum carrier maximum delta is found. Leave Q at 0. On the "values" line, you enter "I,Q". The values, in decimal,

If the minimum is 35 dB or greater, the phone passes. If the minimum is less than 35 dB, then vary Q in the same manner as I using the above values, holding I constant at the minimum value determined above, until the delta is at least 35 dB.
Troubleshooting:
Check Robin (N601), UEM (D200), and associated components. Check TP's 1a - 1d.
Test 119 TN TX DC Offset Reference Power
Description of this and next tuning:
The DC offset voltages on the I and Q inputs to the modulator are adjusted for minimal carrier feedthrough (maximum carrier suppression). Initially the DC offsets are set to a nominal value, and the power of a tone offset in frequency 20 kHz from the carrier is measured in dBm and recorded as a reference (in this tuning). Then in the next tuning, the carrier suppression (delta between center tone and tone that is offset 20 kHz) is measured. If it passes, it is reported in that tuning. If not, the DC offsets are adjusted until it passes, and the passing value is reported.
Explanation of Result:
The reported result is the power in dBm of the tone that is offset 20 kHz from the carrier, as measured on the antenna connector, with the nominal DC offsets applied.
Page 38 Nokia Corporation Confidential Issue 1 04/2003

CCS Technical Documentation Troubleshooting — RF
Manual Verification:
In Phoenix, use the RF Main Mode window to set the AMPS transmitter to channel 384.
Using the PDM Control window, set the I and Q DC offsets to 0,0 by entering 0,0 in the "values" edit box.
Center the transmit signal on the spectrum analyzer, set the span to 100 kHz. Lower the bandwidth so that the two sidetones can be differentiated from the carrier. Measure the amplitude of the sidetone at 20 kHz above the carrier. The amplitude of the sidetone will probably be higher than that of the carrier. The amplitude should be within the test lim­its.
Troubleshooting:
If the carrier is not present, troubleshoot the cell TX chain using the "things to check" list and probing tables/diagrams. If the two tones offset at 20 kHz are not present on the TX signal, check to see if they are on Robin output at L613 at 836.52 MHz + 20 kHz. If not, there is likely a problem with N601 (Robin). Ensure power supplies to Robin (VR2, VR3, VR6 and VIO) are correct. Check components around Robin. If still failing, replace Robin.
Test 121 - 123 TN RX IF AGC RXdBCtr (0) [or (1) or (2)]
Description:
This tuning calibrates the RX IF AGC curve, because the output power of the IF part of the Batman IC is not a linear function of RX_IF_AGC. The tuner injects three known sig­nal power levels into the phone's receiver, and for each one the phone's AGC algorithm adjusts the RX_IF_AGC to get the same amplitude at the output of Batman, although different amplitudes are going in. From these three points, curve fitting is used to inter­polate between measurement points.
Explanation of Result:
The result is a value of RxdBCtr (which corresponds to a value of RX_IF_AGC) for each of three CW input powers injected into the receiver:
-87.5 dBm
-57 dBm
-18 dBm
Manual Verification:
With the phone in local mode, use the Main Mode window to turn on the AMPS receiver set to channel 384. Using the RF Tuning window, perform the manual tuning three times, each time injecting the CW signal at the amplitudes listed above, one amplitude per tun­ing. Each time record RxdBCtr, which is returned by Phoenix during the manual tuning.
Troubleshooting:
While injecting a signal into the receiver, check the values of RSSI and RX_IF_AGC PDM value and, if needed, voltage. RSSI should be within +/- 2 dB of the actual power in dBm on the RF connector. Table 3a lists limits and typical values. The AGC will try to keep the

same amplitude on Batman output, therefore if the AGC value is larger than normal, then the AGC is compensating for loss in the chain prior to the variable gain amplifier.
After checking RSSI and AGC value, if it is still necessary to probe to pinpoint the source of the error, use the AMPS probing Tables 9 through 11.
Test 178 - 179 TN LNA AMPS LowGain (or HighGain)
Description:
This tuning records RxdBCtr (which is automatically adjusted to produce the same ampli­tude on the receiver output no matter what the input is) for the receiver with the LNA in highgain mode, and again with the LNA in lowgain mode. For AMPS this is done only on the center channel.
Explanation of Result:
The result is a value of RxdBCtr.
Manual Verification:
Using Phoenix, choose this tuning in the RF Tuning window. Inject a CW signal that is 10 kHz offset from the center frequency of the channel that is being tuned. For AMPS, set the amplitude to -65 dBm. Record RxdBCtr, which is returned from Phoenix in the lowest field in the RF Tuning window.
Troubleshooting:
Check Alfred and supporting components, reference Table 9.
Test 126 - 139 TN LNA CELL LowGain (or HighGain) LO (or LM, ML, MD, MH, HM, HI)

Explanation of Result:
The result is a value of RxdBCtr.
Manual Verification:
Using Phoenix, choose this tuning in the RF Tuning window. Inject a CW signal that is 10 kHz offset from the center frequency of the channel that is being tuned. For Cell set it to -95 dBm. Record RxdBCtr, which is returned from Phoenix in the lowest field in the RF Tuning window.

Final UI test: Rho
Rho is a measure of CDMA transmit signal quality which encompasses other transmitter indicators such as phase error and magnitude error. Rho is measured with the phone in a phone call, and is read directly from the call box. Rho is measured with sector power = -75 dBm. If Rho fails, first check the signal purity of the LO's. Check synthesizer com­ponents and power supply decoupling. Reference Table 2.
Final UI test: Frame Error Rate (FER)
This measurement, also made in a phone call, measures the frame errors of the receiver in CDMA mode. A low amplitude signal (typically at receiver sensitivity level of -
104.0 dBm) is injected into the receiver, and the FER is recorded. FER is measured in per­centage, and 0.5 % or lower is passing (w/ 95% confidence). Failures are most often caused by excess loss/insufficient gain in the receiver chain, (and sometimes by excess noise in the receiver). Check for correct signal levels and AGC values/voltages as described in Tables 8-12.
Final UI test: SINAD
SINAD (Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion) is similar to a sensitivity/FER measurement for CDMA, but is used in AMPS. A low level signal (typically at sensitivity level of -
116.0 dBm) is injected into the receiver, and SINAD is read off the call box, with 12 dB as the passing limit. Check Tables 9-11.

Probing/Troubleshooting Tables

When measuring CDMA transmit signals, if the spectrum analyzer does not have a CDMA personality card, then the CDMA signal power can be approximated by setting the Reso­lution Bandwidth to 1 MHz and using the marker. This is because CDMA signal power is measured by integrating power over a 1.23 MHz bandwidth, and the marker measures power at only one frequency.
In most cases, probing is done in local mode (i.e., not in a call). Situations may arise whereby the troubleshooter may need to probe while in a call, however in some cases probing may disturb the circuit so that the call drops.
Although the tables list power levels for many combinations of AGC values, it is generally only necessary to check one combination. The extra information is provided in case it may be useful in an unexpected situation. Likewise, although probing points and signal level information are given for each point in the receiver and transmitter chains, the troubleshooter is not expected to probe each point on every phone, only the suspected trouble spots.
Absolute power measurements were made with an Anritsu MT8802A using common RF probe. Other probes can be used (but should be high impedance so that the measurement does not load the circuit) but may very well have a different gain, therefore adjust the absolute measurements accordingly. Also, adjust measurements if using a probe attenu­ator.
Where a range is given for loss, typically the higher loss occurs at the band edges.
Power depends on the impedance of the circuit. For example, if a filter has a nominal loss of 5 dB, then straightforward probing on the input and output, then subtracting, might not result in 5 dB because the input impedance might be different from the output impedance. However, after mathematically adjusting the power on either the input or output to compensate for the difference in impedance, 5 dB is then calculated. Most components in the RF section have the same input and output impedance (50 ohms), but where this is not the case, absolute power is noted in the tables in dBm, rather than loss or gain in dB.
When testing the CDMA receiver, it is easier to inject a CW tone into the receiver. The gains and losses will be the same for a CW signal as for CDMA.

To turn off Cell CDMA Transmitter
Under the RF menu, choose Main Mode, which opens the dialog box shown below.
To turn on the transmitter, first turn on the carrier by highlighting "RX/TX" in the sub­window at the top (which also turns on the receiver), typing the channel in the Channel field, then clicking the Set button in the upper right-hand corner.
Next, turn on the modulation by opening the CDMA Control dialog box under the DSP menu. This dialog box is shown next.

Highlight "Rho" in the Functions field, and click Rho ON in the State field. Choose Cell in the Band field. Under Radio Configurationm choose the desired configuration. C2K is an abbreviation for IS2000. Click Execute.
To turn on the AMPS transmitter
Eventually, the method will be to use the RF Main Mode dialog box as shown above, choosing AMPS in the Band field. However, at the moment there is a software problem with this method, with the result that once the AMPS transmitter is turned on in this manner, it does not respond correctly to AGC PDM adjustment.
As a temporary solution, the AMPS Control dialog box, shown below, can be used.
Select the desired channel and power level, click Transmitter ON, then click the Execute button. The reason why this is a temporary solution is because in some instances, the AFC and AGC are not disabled, with the results that the signal will not be stable in fre-

quency and will not respond to AGC PDM adjustment. If this is the case, manually disable the AFC and AGC using the DSP Memory dialog box that follows.
Choose the"Data option in the Address Space field, type in the address, leave the Sub­count entry at 1, then click the Add button. The address will then be displayed in the field in the lower half of the window. Use this method to enter in both the AFC Disable and AGC Disable addresses. These addresses can be obtained from R&D, and they can change with software version. This is the reason this method is temporary.
Once both addresses are entered, check "Periodic Read On", then click "Stop". Then click the "Read" button, which will display the values in both addresses. Both should be "1". Change both to "0" by clicking on the "1", which will highlight the data in the address, then you can edit the contents and change the "1" to a "0". Hit the return button on your keyboard to enter the new value. Once the contents of both addresses are changed to "0", click the "Write" button, which writes them into the phone. This data will remain in the phone until the phone is powered down.
To turn on the receiver only, in any mode
To turn on the receiver only, use the Main Mode dialog box as shown previously, high­light RX. In the Band field, choose Cell CDMA.

To verify a single, manual tuning
Open the RF Tuning window, shown below. The tuning descriptions at the beginning of this document describe the tuning and tell you what you need to enter, if anything, and what values will be returned to you from the phone, if any.
According to these descriptions, choose Self-Tuning for self tunings, and RF Tuning for the others. Choose the appropriate test from the Tuning Names list. Values that you must enter are entered in the Values dialog box. If more than one value is entered, enter a delay time in seconds in the Delay box. This is the delay between applications of the mul­tiple values entered. Three seconds is sufficient for all tests to run; however, in certain cases you may want to increase the delay in order to closely observe the phone's behav­ior during the tuning.
Any data returned from the phone is displayed on the status line, the box at the bottom which in the following figure says "8 tuning, 7 self-tune Ids configured". If no tuning value is returned, this line will indicate if the tuning was successful or not. To begin a tuning, click the Tune button.
To adjust PDM values of AGCs and AFC
In the PDM dialog box, whic follows, are several sliders, one each for each of the AGCs and the AFC. Drag the slider pointer with your mouse to the value that you want to set. The values are in decimal. Then click Set. Alternatively, you can click the up and down arrows next to the value fields below the sliders, which will increase or decrease the value one step at a time. If you do this, you do not have to click Set.

To read tuning values from the phone
Open the Batch Tune dialog box, as shown below. To read the tuning values from the phone, click the Read All button under the Phone heading. However, in order for the tuning values to be displayed, you must first load the template file by clicking the Load File button under the Parameter File field. Ensure that the template file used is appropri­ate for the software version in the phone.
To read RSSI and AGC PDM values from the phone
Open the AGC Status dialog box, which follows. Click Enable Trace. RSSI is the value near the antenna on the receiver side.

ware is running, and the phone will search for a pilot. To troubleshoot so that you can manually control the phone (not in a call), the phone should be in local mode. In local mode, the phone's software is not running and it will not search for a pilot. To switch between normal and local modes, use the Phone Control dialog box, shown next. This setting will be lost if the phone is powered down.
To add a baseband to the AMPS transmitter
To add a baseband test tone to the AMPS transmitter, open the Test Tone dialog box as shown next and set the parameters as desired.
The DC offset voltages on the I and Q inputs to the modulator are adjusted for minimal carrier feedthrough (maximum carrier suppression). Initially the DC offsets are set to a nominal value, and the power of a tone offset in frequency 20 kHz from the carrier is measured in dBm and recorded as a reference (in this tuning). Then in the next tuning, the carrier suppression (delta between center tone and tone that is offset 20 kHz) is measured. If it passes, it is reported in that tuning. If not, the DC offsets are adjusted until it passes, and the passing value is reported.
