    Robin output at L613 at 836.52 MHz + 20 kHz. If not, there is 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. Nokia Corporation Page 10 Confidential...
  • Page 11: Tn Tx Dc Offset Carrier Suppression

    The IF gain curve is characterized by varying the TX_IF_AGC and measuring the transmit power. This is only done once (in cell CDMA mode) since the same circuitry is used for both cell. Nokia Corporation Issue 1 09/2002 Confidential Page 11...
  • Page 12: Tn Pa Gain Cal Cell Po (0) [Or, (1), (2), (3), (4), Or (5)]

    The software then performs curve fitting to interpolate between the measured data points. The result is the transmitted power in dBm for each of the six PA AGC PDM settings (results labeled 0 through 5). Nokia Corporation Page 12 Confidential Issue 1 09/2002...
  • Page 13: Tx Tx If 11 Dbm Set Cell Po

    TX IF AGC is adjusted so that the output power is +11 dBm. The result is a power in dBm. A perfect result would be +11.00 dBm. Nokia Corporation Issue 1 09/2002 Confidential...
  • Page 14: Tn Tx Rf Agc Cell Po (0) [Or (1), Or (2)]

    (G_Offset is not adjusted on the other channels as it was on the center channel — just the output power is recorded.) The result is the transmitted power in dBM, which should be -8.0 dBm +/- 0.5 dB on the center channel. Nokia Corporation Page 14 Confidential Issue 1 09/2002...
  • Page 15: Tx If 11 Dbm Set Cell Po

    The results are TX power readings in dBm of the transmitted signal measured for each of the listed PDM settings of the Cell TX RF AGC. Manual Verification: Set up the transmitter as described in tuning 24.3 above. Set the Cell PA PDM to -329. Nokia Corporation Issue 1 09/2002 Confidential Page 15...

    Once this is done on the center channel, change to each of the other channels and record the power. Do not adjust G_Offset on the other channels—just record the power. It should be within the limits listed in the tuning results file. Nokia Corporation Page 16 Confidential...

    Adjust TxdBCtr in the “values” dialog box until the output power is within the limits (adjusting for cable loss). Troubleshooting: Troubleshoot the cell transmitter, setting the TX AGC values to those listed for Power Level 0 in Table 1. Nokia Corporation Issue 1 09/2002 Confidential Page 17...
  • Page 18: Tn Amps Pl3 (Or 4, 5, 6, Or 7) Po

    Troubleshooting: If the maximum cannot be reached, either a component in the trans- mitter has too much loss, or not enough gain. Troubleshoot the Cell transmitter with the phone set to the same channel as the failed channel. Nokia Corporation Page 18 Confidential...

    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. Nokia Corporation Issue 1 09/2002 Confidential...
