RM-17 6(b) - RF Troubleshooting Instructions Nokia Customer Care General Information on RF Troubleshooting Notes: Several bills of material (BOM): There are two different kinds of VCOs, VCTXOs, RF-PAs, SAWfilters and Antenna Switches (ASM) assembled. They may only be replaced with the same type as the original component (from the same manufacturer). Phoenix version: In this document there are example measurements being depicted with pictures of AMS-Phoenix, version A 2004.06.1.69.

RM-17 Nokia Customer Care 6(b) - RF Troubleshooting Instructions checked by means of an ohm-meter, but be aware in-circuit measurements should be evaluated carefully. ■ Test conditions Rx tuning of the 26 MHz reference oscillator (VCTCXO) is temperature sensitive because of the estimations of and . According to the Production Test Specification DCS02294-EN-0.5, the ambient temperature has to be within a temperature range of 22°C to 28°C.

RM-17 Nokia Customer Care 6(b) - RF Troubleshooting Instructions The RF ASIC generates only single ended I and Q signals (RXI, RXQ). As the A/D converter in UEM requires two differential signals, an artificial mid voltage is generated from VrefRF02. The phone layout has dedicated test points for the analogue RX I and Q signals (J512, J513). The BB part is used to measure those signals by means of RSSI reading. This works only if correct calibration has been carried out in production.
