Tx power level tuning (GSM)

Context
Because of variations in the integrated circuit process and discrete component values, the actual transmitter
RF gain of each phone is different. Tx power level tuning is used to find out mapping factors called 'power
coefficients'. These adjust the GSM transmitter output power to fulfill the specifications.
In dual or triple band phones, the power level tuning is made for both high and low PA Modes (Power Amplifier
Mode) in the GSM900 band but only for high PA mode in GSM1800/GSM1900 bands
For EDGE transmission, the bias settings of the GSM PA are adjusted in order to improve linearity. This affects
the PA gain and therefore the power levels have to be aligned separately for EDGE transmission.
Tx power level tuning has to be performed on all GSM bands.
Steps
1. Connect the phone to a spectrum analyzer.
Phoenix service software.
2. Start
3. From the Operating mode drop-down menu, set mode to Local.
4. Choose Tuning→GSM→Tx Power Level Tuning.
