Fastest way to troubleshoot GPS RF is to follow the faultfinding chart.
Please note that before changing ASICs or filters, soldering and missing components
must be checked visually. There are no parameters in GPS RF, which should be tuned
externally. Accurate signal levels are not shown in the flowcharts below because of the
figures apply with specific measurement probes. It is useful to compare the results
against reference phones.
Test Equipment
1 Signal generator up to 2 GHz
2 Oscilloscope with 10:1 passive probe
3 High Frequency Probe for Spectrum Analyzer (Please note that the signal levels
mentioned in the RX troubleshooting have been measured with an active probe.)
