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.
