Transmitter troubleshooting
General instructions for transmitter (TX) troubleshooting
Please note the following before performing transmitter tests:
• TX troubleshooting requires TX operation.
• Do not transmit on frequencies that are in use!
• The transmitter can be controlled in local mode for diagnostic purposes.
• The most useful Phoenix tool for GSM transmitter testing is “RF Controls”.
• Remember that re-tuning is not a fix! Phones are tuned correctly in production
Note:
Never activate the GSM transmitter without a proper antenna load. Always connect a 50 Ω
load to the RF connector (antenna, RF-measurement equipment or at least a 2 W dummy load);
otherwise the power amplifier may be damaged.
