Flash programming does not work

The flash programming can only be done via the pads on the PWB (J396). In case of Flash failure in FLALI station, problem is most likely related to SMD problems. Pos-
sible failures could be short-circuit of balls under µBGAs (UEM, UPP, FLASH). Missing or mis­aligned components.
In flash programming error cases the flash prommer can give some information about a fault. The fault information messages could be:
- Phone doesn't set FBUS_TX line low Because of the use of uBGA components it is not possible to verify if there is a short circu it in
control- and address lines of MCU (UPP) and memory (flash).

Power does not stay on or phone is jammed

If this kind of failure is presenting itself immediately after FLALI, it is most likely caused by ASICs missing contact with PWB.
If for some reason the MCU does not service the watchdog register within the UEM, the oper­ations watchdog will run out after approximately 32 seconds. Unfortunately , the service routine can not be measured.

The phone does not register to the network, or the phone cannot make a call

If the phone doesn't register to the network, the fault can be in either BB or RF . Only few signals can be tested since several signals is 'burried' in one or more of the inner layers of the PWB.
First of all check that SIM LOCK is not causing the error by using a Test-SIM card and connect the phone to a tester.

Introduction to RH-53/54 RF Troubleshooting

Three types of measurements are used in the following. It will be specified if the measurement type is "RF" “RF test” or "LF".
RF measurements should be done with a GSM tester and a suitable connector to the general RF input/output. That connection is for tun ing a nd te sting the whole RF in the phone.
RF test measurements should be done with a Spectrum Analyzer and a high-fre­quency 500ohm passive probe, for example HP54006A. Use some sort of DC block­ing device, to avoid loading the circuit or the SPA with DC. (Note that when measuring with the 500ohm probe, the signal will be around 20 dB attenuated. The values in the following will have these 20 dB subtracted and represent the real value seen on the spectrum analyzer).
LF (Low frequency) and DC measurements should be done with a 10:1 probe and an oscilloscope. The probe used in the following is 10M/8pF passive probe . If us­ing another probe then bear in mind that the voltages displayed may be slightly dif­ferent.
Always make sure the measurement set-up is calibrated when measuring RF parameters on the antenna connector. Remember to in clude the loss in the module rep air jig and the coaxial cable when realigning the phone.
Most RF semiconductors are static discharge sensitive. So ESD prot ection must be taken during repair (ground straps an d ESD soldering irons). Mjoelner is mo isture sensitive so parts must be pre-baked prior to soldering.
Apart from key-components described in this document there are a lot of discrete components (resistors, inductors and capacitors) for which troubleshooting is done by checking if soldering of the component is done properly or checking if the component is missing from PCB. Capac­itors can be checked for short-circuit and resistors for value by means of an ohmmeter, but be aware in-circuit measurements should be evaluated carefully.
In the following both the name “low band” will be used to describe both GSM850 - EGSM and GSM900, while “high band” will be used for both PCN and GSM1800.

In the following general desriptions different colours are used in the block diagram. The Low­band signal route is shown in red, the Highband route in green and the common signal lines are shown in blue.

Receiver signal path

The signal from the antenna pad is routed to the Front End Module (FEM - N700). The FEM contains a diplexer and a switch system controlling the direction of the signals, either routing the TX signal from the Power Amplifier (P A) to the anten na or routing the received signal from the antenna to either the Lowband (850/900 MHz) or the Highband (1800/1900 MHz) input on the RF IC (N600).

The Lowband signal from the FEM is routed to the SAW filter (Z602). The purpose of the SA W filter is to provide out-of band blocking imummity and to provide the LNA in Mjoelner (N600) with a balanced signal. The front end of Mjoelner is divided into a LNA and Pre-Gain amplifier before the mixers.
The output from the mixer is fed to Baseband part of Mjoelner where the signals amplified in the BBAMP aand low pass filteret in LPF1 before the DC compensation circuits in DCN1. The DCN1 output is followed by a controlled attenuator and a se cond lowp ass filter LPF2. The ou t­put from LPF2 is DC centeret in DCN2 before being feed to the BB for demodulation.
The Highband signal chain is similar to the lowband.

Transmitter signal path

The I/Q signal from the BB is routed two the modulators for both Lowband and Highband. The output of the modulators is either terminated in a SA W filte r (Z603) for the Lowb and or a balun for the Highband. The signals from the SAW and Balun are then amplified in the Power Ampli­fier (PA) located in the Front End Module (FEM - N700) where the gain control t akes place. In

order to control the TX level a sample of the signal is taken in the FEM and used in the power loop amplfier in Mjoelner to establish the right output power. The selection of which amplifier chain in the FEM to be active is controlled through the 4 controllines VC1, VC2, BS and Vtx.

PLL
The PLL supplies Local Oscillator (LO) signals for the RX and TX-mixers. In order to be able to generate LO-frequencies for the required EGSM and PCN channels a regular synthesizer­circuit is used. All blocks for the PLL except for the VCO, reference X-tal and loopfilter is lo cated in the Mjoelner IC, N600.
The reference frequency is generated by a 26MHz V olt age Controlled X-tal Oscillator (VCXO) located in the Mjoelner IC. Only the X-tal is external. 26MHz is supplied to BB where a divide­by-2 circuit (located in the UPP IC) generates the BB-clock at 13MHz. The reference frequency

is supplied to the reference divider (RDIV) where the frequency is divided by 65. The output of RDIV (400kHz) is used as reference clock for the Phase Detector (ϕ).
The PLL synthesizer is a feedback control system controlling the phase and frequency of the LO-signal. Building blocks for the PLL are: Phase detector, Charge Pump, Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), N-Divider and loopfilter. As mentioned earlier only the VCO and loopfilter is external to the Mjoelner IC.
The VCO (G600) is the component that actually generates the LO-frequency. Based on the control voltage input the VCO generates a signal, which is made differential through a balun. This signal is fed to the Prescaler and N-divider in Mjoelner, these 2 block together divide the frequency by a ratio based on the selected channel. The divider output is supplied to the phase detector which compares the frequency and phase to the 400kHz reference clock. Based on this comparison the phase detector controls the charge pump to either charge or discharge the capacitors in the loopfilter . By charging/discharging the loop filter the control voltage to the VCO changes and the LO-frequency will change. Therefore the PLL will make the LO-frequency stay locked to the 26MHz VCXO frequency.
The loopfilter consists of the following components: C639-C641 and R618-R619. The PLL is operating at twice the channel center frequency when transmitting or receiving in
the PCN band. For the EGSM band the PLL is operating at 4-times the channel frequency. Therefore divide-by-2 and divide-by-4 circuits are inserted between the PLL output and LO-in­puts to the PCN and EGSM mixers.
The frequency plan is shown in the figure below:

Common circuit

The power supply and the synthesiser is common for RH53/54, except for the synthesiser rang­es.

Power Supply Configuration

All power supplies for the RF Unit are generated in the UEM IC (D200). All power outputs from this IC have a decoupling capacitor at which the supply voltage can be checked.
The power supply configuration used in the phone is shown in the block diagram below:

26 MHz Reference Oscillator ( VCXO )

The 26 MHz oscillator is located in the Mjoelner IC (N600). The coarse frequency for this oscil­lator is set by an external crystal (B600). The reference oscillator is used as a reference fre­quency for the PLL synthesizer and as the system clock for BaseBand. The 26MHz signal is divided by 2 to achieve 13MHz inside the UPP IC (D400). The 26 MHz signal from the VCXO can be measured by probing R420 at the end towards the UPP, see “Measurement points for the Synthesizer”. The level at this point is approx. 700mVpp. Frequency of this oscillator is ad­justed by changing the AFC-register inside the Mjoelner IC. This is done via the Mjoelner serial interface.

VCO
The VCO is generating frequencies in the range of 3420.4MHz – 3839.2 MHz for the RH-53 and in the range 3296.8 to 3979.6 MHz for RH-54 when the PLL is running. The output frequen­cy from the VCO is led to the Local oscillator input of the Mjoelner IC (N600), where the fre­quency is divided either by 2 or 4 in order to generate all channels in EGSM and PCN respectively . Frequency of the VCO is controlled by a DC-volt age (Vctrl) coming from the loop­filter. The loopfilter consists of the component s R618, R619 and C639-C641. Range of the Vctrl when the PLL is running (locked) is 0.4V – 4.3V. Even if the PLL is not in locked state (Vctrl out of range) there is some frequency at the output of the VCO (G600), which is between 3 and 4 GHz. This is true if the VCO is working and if the VCO power supply is at present (2.7V).

If the phone stops working a short time after the power is turned ON, a possible reason for this might be the 26MHz system clock signal is not getting to the UPP clock-inpu t in BaseBand. In this case check the following:
Turn on the phone and check VCXO Power supply (C620) = 2.7V VCXO output (R420 – end not connected to C420) is 26MHz and approx. 700mVpp If this is not the case check the reference crystal (B600) and Mjolner (N600) as well as R420,

Front End Module (FEM) control signals

Depending on the vendor of the Front End Module (FEM), dif ferent timing of the control signals are present. The SW suppoerts both FEMs. R629 tells the SW which FEM control should be active. Renesas FEM control is used when R629 is 18K and RFMD FEM control is used when R629 is 82K.
If the FEM is exchanged with an other type, the R629 must be changed, too.

RH-53/54 Transmitter Troubleshooting

The troubleshooting of the transmitter for the different phones is similar, meaning that the low band, 850/900 MHz, has similar values and the high band, 1800/1900 MHz, has simila r values. The only differences are which selection of product done in Phoenix.

Measure the output power of the phone; it should be around 32.5 dBm for low band and 29.5 dBm for highband. Remember the loss in the jig; around 0 dB for the low band and 0.1 dB for the high band.

Troubleshooting chart for GSM900 transmitter

For the spectrum analyzer measurements in the following chart use the 500ohm passive probe giving an approximately 20 dB lower reading than indicate in the following figures. Since the signal measured is bursted it is advised to set the analyzer to maxhold.

Depending on the vendor of the Front End Module (FEM), dif ferent timing of the control signals are at present:the SW supports both FEMS. R629 tells the SW which FEM control should be active. Renesas FEM control is used when R629 is 18K and RFMD FEM control is used when R629 is 82K.
If the FEM is exchanged with an other type, the R629 has to be changed, too.

The pictures in the following page show the typical shapes of the control signals low ba nd, right side it for highest power – left side for lowest power . In all the pictures TXP is used a the trigger point and is seen in the top of each picture. The difference between the high band and the low band is that he high band signals looks the same with only small changes in level. The activat­ing of high band Vdet starts 5us earlier than for low band.

Alignment

Manual alignment with Phoenix

The alignment/calibration is the same in both GSM900/850 and GSM1800/1900 except for the channels and frequencies. Only the the procedures for GSM900/GSM1800 are shown.
In Phoenix select connection Fbus scan product. If you power up the board before selecting Fbus, it works without any error messages. Use Jig or other device for RF and bus connection. Attenuation in the probe alone is 0dB for 900 and 0.1dB for 1800. Use CMD55,CMU200 or oth­er suitable device. Default channels are 37 for GSM900 and 700 for GSM1800 (Ch 190 and 661 for GSM850/1900). The alignments and calibrations mu st be performed in the order shown to give reliable results.
The way to save data to the phone and to load data from the phone is made different in the various tunings. Always look what is shown in the windows regarding these issues and act ac­cordingly . In some windows the saving is done without any warning or secon d approval as soon as you stop or end.
To vary a selected parameter you can use + and – key or in some cases directly type the new value. + and – steps the value for every press. Repeat function seems not to work. In I/Q you can use the side arrows.

Note! You have to follow the shown procedure. It is not possible to tune the high band alone. You need to make a tuning of the low band first to come to the high band. You can stop at any time by switching off the menu. If the values are outside internal specs, you can not save them and have to leave the tuning without saving.

RF control

The purpoase is to check the receiver or transmitter without going in call. It works very much like a call, but you have control via the PC and not via the tester . If you want to tune or calibrat e at other channels or levels than the default for that function, you can activate RF control at the same time and change the wanted parameters.

Autotune (RH-53 with CMU200)

File adjustments

Edit the file RH_53_tunings.ini and save it in the product folder under Phoenix with the right name. It defines the target values for the tu nings which need targets or can be a general one that only needs small updates for the values that might change (e.g. the base target).
Edit the file autotune_RH-53.ini and save it in the product folder under Phoenix with the right name.
Change the Baselevel init values so that the expected base coefficient is among them. It is not absolutely needed but it speeds up the tuning. Larger steps can be used but with lower accu­racy.
Eventually, change also the Coeff init values if the tuning deviates too much from the target. The lowest coefficient must be very close to 0. Check how the power tuning goes an d try with
some changes.
In case of edge capability, copy from RH-12 and make some changes. RH-12 is for Gemini en­gine, RH-53 is for Mjoelner engine.
For autotuning, please see also TB “Autotuning function in Phoenix”.
