RF Troubleshooting
Introduction to RF troubleshooting
Measurements should be done using Spectrum analyzer with high-frequency high-
impedance passive probe (LO-/reference frequencies and RF power levels) and Oscillo-
scope with a 10:1 probe (DC-voltages and low frequency signals)
The RF-section is built around one RF-ASIC (HELGA N500). For easier troubleshooting,
this RF troubleshooting document is divided in to sections.
Before changing HELGA, please check following things: Supply voltages are OK and serial
communication is coming from baseband to HELGA.
Please note that the grounding of the PA module is directly below PA-module so it is dif-
ficult to check or change. Most RF semiconductors are static discharge sensitive! So
ESD protection must be taken care of during repair (ground straps and ESD soldering
irons). HELGA and PA are moisture sensitive so parts must be pre-baked prior to solder-
ing.
Apart from key components described in this document here are a lot of discrete compo-
nents (resistors, inductors and capacitors) which troubleshooting is done by checking if
soldering of the component is done properly (for factory repairs checking if it is missing
from PWB). Capacitor can be checked for shortening and resistors for value by means of
an ohmmeter, but be aware in-circuit measurements should be evaluated carefully.
Please be aware that all measured voltages or RF levels in this document are rough fig-
ures. Especially RF levels varies due to different measuring equipment or different
grounding of the used probe. When using RF probe usually a good way is to use metallic
tweezers to connect probe ground to PWB ground as close to measurement point as pos-
sible.

EGSM900 & GSM1800 Transmitter
General instructions for Tx troubleshooting
Kindly refer to the Service Software Section, Service Concept dagram (p.40)
Connect test jig to computer with DAU-9S cable or to FPS-8 Flash Prommer with XCS-4
modular cable.
Make sure that you have PKD-1 dongle connected to computers parallel port.
Connect DC power supply to module test jig with FLC-2 cable.
Attention: When repairing or tuning transmitter use external DC supply with at
least 3A current capability. Set the DC supply voltage to 3.9V and set the jumper con-
nector on test jig to "bypass" position.
Connect a RF-cable to the module test jig (MJS-49) RF connector to and to measurement
equipment or at least 10dB attenuator, otherfwise the PA may be damaged. Normally
Spectrum analyzer is used as measurement equipment.
Attention: Normally Spectrum analyzer maximum input power is +30dBm. It is recom-
mended to use 10dB attenuator on Spectrum analyzer input to prevent damage.
Set the phone module to test jig and start Phoenix service sofware
Initialize connection to phone. (use FBUS driver when using DAU9S and COMBOX driver
when using FPS-8)
