RF Description and Troubleshooting

Preliminary RF Troubleshooting

The following sections identify steps to troubleshoot some common RF issues.

Mobile Terminal Cannot Make a Call

Verify the following items if the mobile terminal cannot make a call:

1.The mobile terminal is in Normal Mode (i.e., the mobile terminal is searching for a signal, net server is on).

2.The Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is loaded into the mobile terminal.

3.The mobile terminal is tuned and has passed tuning. Read the tuning parameters using the Batch Tune component in Phoenix. An untuned mobile terminal has all zeros in the tuning file.

4.The call box channel is set for a channel in PRL.

5.The SID is correct and entered into the mobile terminal.

6.The VCTCXO is centered as described in "VCTCXO Manual Tuning" on page 33

7.The transmitter and receiver are working properly in Local Mode. See "Transmitter Troubleshooting" on page 8 and "Receiver Troubleshooting" on page 16 for detailed information.

Tx Power Low

Complete the following steps if Tx power is low:

1.Use Phoenix to turn on the transmitter in Local Mode.

2.Perform a visual inspection of the PWB under a microscope to check for the proper placement, rotation, and soldering of components.

3.Look for the presence of a Tx signal on a spectrum analyzer at the correct frequency.

If a signal is present but off-frequency, check the synthesizers for proper frequency and amplitude. One of the synthesizers may be unlocked or the VCO has no output signal.

If a signal is not present or is present but is low in amplitude, check the probing diagrams to determine where in the chain the fault occurs.)

4.Ensure that the power supplies to the Tx have the correct voltage.

5.Ensure that the AGC PDMs are set for the desired Tx power and that the AGC voltages are correct.

Transmitter Troubleshooting

CELL Tx Setup

Use the following procedures to prepare for CELL Tx troubleshooting using Phoenix.

1.Connect RF test connector to a call box.

2.Connect the phone to a PC using the dummy battery adapter, and connect a power supply.

3.Open the Troubleshooting menu, and click Phone Control. The Phone Control dialog box appears.

4.On the Phone Control dialog box, click the LOCAL button in the Phone State area to put the phone into Local Mode.

Figure 5: Phone Control dialog box

5.Open the Troubleshooting menu, point to RF, and click CDMA Control. The RF Main Mode dialog box appears.

6.Select the following values on the RF Main Mode dialog box:

Band = Cell (CDMA)

Channel = 384

Mode = Rx/Tx

7. Click Set.

Note: Be sure that the “RF Main Mode set successfully” message appears in the status bar.

8.Open the Troubleshooting menu, point to RF, and click CDMA Control. The CDMA Control dialog box appears.

Figure 7: CDMA Control dialog box for Cell Tx troubleshooting

9.Select the following values on the CDMA Control dialog box.

State = Rho ON

Band = Cell

Radio Configuration = Mode 1: IS-95 Voice

Select the Set default PDM values check box.

10.Click Execute.

11.At this point you should be able to measure Tx Pout at the RF connector. The cell band Tx Pout = 0 to 2 dBm. If you do not see these values, set the AGC PDM for 25 dBm and probe the Tx path to figure out where in the path the fault occurs.

12.Open the Troubleshooting menu, point to RF, and click PDM Control.

The RF PDM Control dialog box appears.

13.Click Read Phone to update the values.

14.Configure the spectrum analyzer using the following values:

Center Frequency = 836.52 MHz

Span = 100 MHz

RF LVL Amplitude = 20 dBm

Attenuation = Auto

BW = Auto

Adjust the following PDM field values on the RF PDM dialog box:

Set PA Gain State to High

Adjust Tx RF AGC PDM to around –250

Adjust Tx IF AGC PDM to around –250

Set Output level to +23dBm on CH-384 and monitor the current between 590mA and 660mA.

Failed Test: Tx PA Detector

1.Use Phoenix to set the phone in Local Mode, and activate the Tx with default output power. The output power at the RF test connector should read

9 dBm +/- 4 dB.

2.Use a voltmeter on DC, and probe the detector output at C813. The voltmeter should read approximately 1.4 V. If not, replace the detector (N803).
