TUNING INSTRUCTIONS 9618ARo Technical Documentation NHC–4 6–3–2 Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones Tuning Instructions General In contrast to earlier second–generation analog cellular phones tuning operations of the NHC–4 are carried out using the Service software. The Service program turns the phone into the Locals mode, in which the phone can be outwardly controlled via the M2BUS interface. The tuning values of the phone reside on the EEPROM.

TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 6–3–8 9618ARo Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones Starting The Program The program is delivered on a diskette and is copy protected with a dongle. The program can also be installed on the hard disk, which is recommendable to obtain a maximum data access rate. In case you want to store the program to the hard disk, proceed according to instructions given in the Service software installation manual.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 6–3–9 9618ARo Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones Tuning Steps of Radio Unit 1. Bias Current Tuning The purpose of this tunig is to optimize transmitter‘s efficiency. Bias tuning is needed if: – PLL circuit (N501) is replaced – any of power amplifiers (CLY5, CCY15) duplex filter is replaced – any of power amplifiers resistors is replaced This affects only power consumption and thus gain and linearity of power amplifier.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–10 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 2. TX Output Power This adjustment loads the power levels of the phone transmitter into EEPROM. When doing this, a power meter must be used. The phone is in analog mode in this tuning for making the power measurement easier than in digital mode.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–11 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones – Program calculates all other tuning levels. After all tables are calculated you must check that actual power level on bands 2–4 are correct. – Press to store calculated values to the phone and exit or to exit without storing. 3. FM Modulator Tuning This tuning is done to adjust the FM Modulators 0dB level and the gain of TX– audio path.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–12 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 4. AFC tuning This tuning is done to calibrate the VCTCXO oscillator frequency. This tuning is needed if VCTCXO, any component of AFC–line (R457, R458, V451) or RFI is changed. AFC calibration: – Select ”Service – Tunings – AFC Tuning” – Connect the modulation (or spectrum) analyzer to antenna connector and measure transmitter frequency. Adjust frequency to 831.0 MHz +– 80Hz with arrow or PgUp/PgDwn –keys.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–13 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 5. RFI TX–IQ D.C. Offset Tuning The purpose of this tunig operation is to adjust the I/Q modulator d.c. offsets and the I/Q modulator amplitude balance and phase shift. This tuning is needed if CRFRT or RFI circuit is changed. I/Q modulator d.c. offsets: – Connect spectrum analyzer (with attenuator if needed) to phone antenna connector.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–14 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 6. AMPS Demodulation Tuning The purpose of this tuning operation is to calibrate the gain of audio path. This tuning is needed if FM detector (N702) including surrounding components of FM detector or Audio Codec (N150) is changed Demodulation adjustment: – Select ”Service – Tunings – AMPS demodulation” – Apply modulated test signal (ch 200, RX frequency 876.000 MHz, modulation 1 kHz with 5.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–15 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 7. Analog mode RSSI This step consist of tuning the analog mode reference value for the receiver signal strenght meter. This tuning is needed if FM detector; any parts of RX–chain; duplex filter, saw filter or chrystal filter has been changed Note: Take account the cable losses. Analog RSSI level tuning: – Connect signal generator to antenna connector at 882 MHz (channel 400) using modulating frequency 1.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–16 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 8. Digital mode AGC This step consist of tuning the receivers gain in digital mode as a function of AGC. AGC values are tuned at four different RF levels: –100 dBm, –90 dBm, –70 dBm and –65 dBm. This tuning is neded if CRFRT, RFI, common parts of RX–chain or duplex filter is changed AGC tuning: – Select ”Service – Tunings – Digital mode AGC” – Connect signal generator to antenna connector at 883.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–17 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 9. Battery Voltage Adjustment A reference value for battery are calibrated by using an accurate 6.0 V supply. Calibration of the A/D converter channels: – In case the phone covers are not removed replace the standard battery of the phone with the dummy battery BTS–4. – Apply +6 V to dummy battery. – Select ”Service – Tunings – Battery voltage tuning”.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–18 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 11. SINAD Level Checking You should only check the sinad value! Sinad is only checked, not tuned! If the sinad is poor, you must repair the phone, see section testing and troubleshooting. SINAD level tuning: – Connect signal generator to antenna connector at 876.000 MHz (channel 200) using modulating frequency 1.0 kHz with a deviation of 8.0 kHz and level of –116 dBm.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–19 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones Tuning Steps of Booster 1. Output Power Tuning In output power calibration we have to find the D/A converter values for given output power. Values are then saved to the EEPROM. In booster EEPROM there is a table for 31 power levels. The power levels are from 4.8 to 34.8 dBm in1 dB steps.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–20 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 2. Transmitter Frequency Tuning After the output power levels have been calibrated in the middle channel (836MHz) the amplification must also be calibrated in different frequencies. Frequency calibration is made in 5 different frequencies: 824 MHz, 830 MHz, 836 MHz, 842 MHz and 848 MHz.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–21 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 3. Output Power Check After the transmitter calibration you must check that the output power is correct in all input levels and input voltages. Error of –1 dB to +1 dB is acceptable. Also the surge protection of the PA module must be checked. It should operate when the input voltage goes over 16 V. Output power check: – Connect the booster and the cables as in the output power tuning. – Use 10.
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NHC–4 9618ARo 6–3–22 Technical Documentation Copyright Nokia Mobile Phones 4. Receiver Calibration Receiver operates in frequencies 869 to 894 MHz. Receiving part is always on if the booster has the power connected. The receiver has net gain of about +7 dB and it must be measured with ±1 dB accuracy. Calibration procedure is following: – Inject the RF power to output of the booster and measure the amplification from the input. – Set the output power of the RF generator to –50dBm.
