RM-14 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Nokia Customer Care Service Tool Concept for RF Tunings All RF tunings for RM-14 phones must be carried out in MJ-34 Module Jig. Power to MJ-34 should be supplied from an external DC power supply, not FPS-8 prommer. MJ-34 input voltages: • Maximum + 16 VDC • Nominal input for RF tunings is +12 V DC Remember cable attenuation when setting required RF levels.

RM-14 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Nokia Customer Care Receiver Tunings ■ RX channel select filter calibration Extra equipment / external RF signal is not needed. Must be done before other RX calibrations. This function is used to calibrate RX channel select filter in GSM Phones. Rx Channel select filter is tuned only in one (lowest) band = Single calibration for all bands. Select Tuning => Rx Channel select filter calibration. Press “Tune" to start the tuning.
RM-14 Nokia Customer Care RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning ■ RX calibration RF generator is needed. This tuning performs RX Calibration. Must be done separately on all bands! Calibration is automatically performed at EGSM (GSM900), then at GSM1800 and finally at the GSM1900 band. If the tuning is successful, it continues in the next band. AFC tuning is carried out while EGSM (GSM900) band RX Calibration is performed.

RM-14 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Nokia Customer Care Transmitter Tunings ■ TX power level tuning Power Meter (or Spectrum analyzer) is needed. With Tx power level tuning, the coefficients are adjusted for each power level. Tuning must be performed separately on all band and all modes! When EDGE is on, the tuning must be carried out for all power levels.
RM-14 Nokia Customer Care RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning EGSM900 PA High Mode with EDGE off Select “Start”, the tuning begins automatically from the EGSM900 band. Set Power Meter (or Spectrum analyzer) as required. Note that TX PA mode is “High” at this point. The coefficient table lists the power level, coefficient, target dBm and DAC value for each power level. The tuned power level can be chosen by using up and down arrows or mouse. The current power level is shown with inverse colors.

RM-14 Nokia Customer Care RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning ■ TX I/Q tuning Spectrum analyzer is needed. Tx IQ tuning allows changing the Tx I DC Offset, Tx Q DC Offset, Amplitude difference and Phase difference.
RM-14 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Nokia Customer Care The order of tuning should be the same as the order of the sliders e.g. the Tx I DC Offset is tuned first and Phase difference is tuned last. Use <= , =>, PgUp or PgDn keys The tuning is performed by setting each of the sliders to desired value. Tune LO leak to minimum with TXI/TXQ DC offset control (f0 on spectrum analyzer screen).
RM-14 Nokia Customer Care RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Tx IQ Tuning limits are the same for all bands (GSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900): Table 15: Tuning Limits EDGE off EDGE on TX I DC Offset -4 … +4 -6 … +6 TX Q DC Offset -4 … +4 -6 … +6 Amplitude Difference -1.2 … +1.2 -1 … +1 Phase Difference 80 … 100 80 … 100 Tuning will automatically move to the next step, EGSM900 with EDGE on when you press “Save & Continue”. EGSM900 band with EDGE On Choose “Start” to begin tuning.
RM-14 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Nokia Customer Care GSM1900 band with EDGE On Choose “Start” to begin tuning. Set the spectrum analyzer to required settings for GSM1900 band=> OK. Repeat the same tuning steps as for the EGSM900 band above. Tuning will be completed when you press “Save & Continue”. Choose “OK” to close the “TX I/Q Tuning” dialog.
