The main RX troubleshooting measurement is RSSI reading. This test measures the signal strength of the
received signal. For GSM RSSI measurements, see
GSM RX chain activation for manual measurements/GSM

RSSI reading )
Results
With the
Measuring mode
set to
Sum vector
, the reading should reflect the level of the signal generator (-
losses) +/- 5 dB.
When varying the level in the range -30 to -102 dBm the reading should then follow /-5 dB.
Now select the measuring mode to
Q branch
and
I Branch
. In each case the reading should be 3 dB below
the signal generator level.

RSSI-reading AND TX troubleshooting is failing: replace N1002.
TX is OK and RX is failing: replace N1001.
