GSM/WCDMA antenna functionality
The main GSM/WCDMA antenna is an IFA (Inverted F Antenna), which is divided into two branches and includes
one parasitic element. The antenna is functioning normally when it is properly attached to the B-cover and
the contact springs take proper contact to the PWB.
The main antenna functionality must also be checked by measuring the transmitted power with RF coupler
at GSM900 channel 124.
