If TXLB is missing, measure the feed voltage on N392: 11, 3.8 V p-p/ 216 Hz.
Also check BSEL on N392:5.
If the feed voltage and BSEL is correct check R392, but probably the fault is due to N392.
If the feed voltage is missing or to low it can be due to V332 and V350.
Also check all solder-joints and use the circuit diagram.
For GSM 1800:
Start the transmitter in switch mode, at middle channel (699) with ”DAC 7 value” at FF.
Check if there is enough output power (28- 32 dBm) at the antenna connector, use the
spectrum analyser.
We have been using the following settings on the spectrum analyser while measuring:
CF- 1747.6 MHz, SPAN- 0 Hz, RBW- 300 kHz, VBW- 100 kHz and Sweep- 0.8 ms.
If the output power is correct, the fault was either the back cover or the antenna connection.
Measure the PAREG at R497, 2.9 V p-p/ 216 Hz, Fig. 7.4.
If the voltage is too low, the fault can be due to a short circuit in C510,
but usually it depends on N400, N500, N700 or D600.
If PAREG is correct, measure the signal TXHB on N390:6 (13 dBm) and on L402 (~8 dBm).
If both the signals are correct and there is no or low output power, check the VCTLHB
voltage to N200: 4 3.7 V p-p/ 216 Hz.
If the voltage is correct, replace N400. (It is not possible to measure the signal out from
N400).
If the fault remains it can be due to C403, C404, C407, or N200.
If only the signal at L402 is missing the fault is due to L402 or N400.
If TXHB is missing, measure the feed voltage on N392: 11, 3.8 V p-p/ 216 Hz.
Also check BSEL on N392: 5
If the feed voltage and BSEL is correct check R392, but probably the fault is due to N392.
If the feed voltage is missing or to low it can be due to V332 and V350.
Also check all solder-joints and use the circuit diagram.
All the mentioned signal strength levels are approximately, especially when measuring at the
signal before the power amplifier, since its output power radiates back to the probe.
This has to be considered when comparing measured values with reference values.
