RM-14 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Nokia Customer Care

Introduction

This document is the troubleshooting guide for RM-14. On the following pages you will find a step-by-step fault finding procedure and reference measurements at the relevant signal points.
Note! Most test points are not accessible unless shielding cans are cut open. This must ONLY be done by the Return Analysis technicians and for analysis only!

Notes on reference measurements

LF & DC signals are measured with Textronix 100 MHz Scope (TDS3014) and P3010 13pF probe.
RF signals are measured with R&S FSIQ 7GHz Spectrum Analyzer and Agilent resistive divider probe (10dB, 500ohm).
Please be aware that the RF connector on service adaptor is leaking power (into air) and acts as noise source when probing on RX chain. In 1800 band the problem is most severe while there is no external LNA to amplify the signal above the noise level like in the 1900 band. In 900 band the leakage is not as high due to lower fre­quency.
GSM SA settings: RBW=500kHz, VBW=500kHz.
Bluetooth SA settings: RBW=2MHz, VBW=2MHz.
All reference measurements were made on a RM-14 phone (GSM900).
RF loss Module Repair Jig: 900: 0.6 dB, 1800: 1.1dB and 1900: 1 .2dB. Bluetooth is 1.8dB.

Service Tool Concept for RF Tunings

All RF tunings for RM-14 phones must be carried out in MJ-34 Module Jig. Power to MJ-34 should be supplied from an external DC power supply, not MJ-34 input voltages:
Maximum + 16 VDC
Nominal input for RF tunings is +12 V DC Remember cable attenuation when setting required RF levels. RF tunings should be made in the same order as shown in this document, the order of the cor-
responding menu items in the Phoenix Service SW may be different. If baseband tunings are needed, they should be made before the RF tunings. Avoid unnecessary tuning – factory tuning values are always the most accurate ones. Views in this document may change as the service sof tware is developed. Please refer to the
Phoenix help files, phone model specific service manual and bulletins for help.

Transmitter Tunings

TX power level tuning

Power Meter (or Spectrum analyzer) is needed. With Tx power level tuning, the coefficients are adjusted for each power level. Tuning must be performed separately on all band and all modes When EDGE is on, the tuning must be carried out for all power levels. Tx power level tuning steps are:
EGSM900 PA High Mode with EDGE off
EGSM900 PA High Mode with EDGE on
GSM1800 PA High Mode with EDGE off
GSM1800 PA High Mode with EDGE on
GSM1900 PA High Mode with EDGE off

TX I/Q tuning

Spectrum analyzer is needed. Tx IQ tuning allows changing the Tx I DC Offset, Tx Q DC Offset, Amplitude difference and
Phase difference. Must be performed separately on all bands TX I/Q tuning steps are:
EGSM (GSM900) with EDGE off
EGSM with EDGE on
GSM1800 with EDGE off
GSM1800 with EDGE on
GSM1900 with EDGE off
GSM1900 with EDGE on Remember to take jig and cable attenuations into account! Select Tuning => TX IQ Tuning
!

EGSM900 band with EDGE Off

Select “Start” to begin tuning at EGSM900 band with EDGE off. Set spectrum analyzer to required settings => OK
The tuning is carried out by setting each of the sliders to desired value. The sliders can be changed only when the tuning is ongoing.

RM-14 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Nokia Customer Care
The order of tuning should be the same as the order of the sliders e.g. the Tx I DC Offset is tuned first and Phase difference is tuned last.
Use <= , =>, PgUp or PgDn keys The tuning is performed by setting each of the sliders to desired value.
Tune LO leak to minimum with TXI/TXQ DC of fset contro l (f0 on spectrum analyzer screen). Tune the wrong sideband to minimum using Amplitude/Phase difference controls (f0+68kHz
on spectrum analyzer screen).
