Proj. nr: 0490, 502, 561 & 582 Rel.:r3 Date: 28.09.20 2.2 WCDMA TX Tune Up WCDMA Tx tune up is being done with QCOMM tool and performed within three steps:
Tx linearization & Freq Compensation Composite Tx/Rx vs frequency Tx Limiting & Freq Compensation 2.2.1 Tx linearization & Freq Compensation The unit transmits in a reference channel (mid) and perform TX sweep while searching for the correct HDET value at each PDM step and generate PDM vs Power tables for the 2 PA gain states (1, 0). After completing calibration on the reference channel frequency the compensation being done on 3 channels across the band. 2.2.2 WCDMA composite Tx/Rx vs frequency calibration procedure WCDMA composite Tx/Rx vs frequency calibration is using QCOMM GUI. Composite Tx/Rx calibration is an alternative to the serial Tx and serial Rx calibration procedures. Composite Tx/Rx calibration is a fast and efficient calibration procedure that uses the Tx/Rx vs frequency sweep and perform Tx and Rx measurements in parallel. Overview of Tx/Rx vs frequency sweep In the Tx/Rx vs frequency sweep measurement, the phone transmits a predefined Tx power sequence and the test equipment measures Tx power. Simultaneously, the test equipment generates a predefined Rx power sequence and the phone performs Rx measurements. Key features of the measurement are:
>> The mobiles Tx power provides a rising edge for triggering the start of the first sequence.
>> Changes in mobile Tx power and mobile Rx power and Tx and Rx measurements are synchronized to segment boundaries.
>> The sweep is composed of a maximum of 3 sequences typically corresponding to the 3 RF calibration channel frequencies.
>> The test equipment will return results for Tx power measurements and the mobile will return results for Rx measurements along with a list of HDET values. 2.2.3 Tx Limiting & Freq Compensation Once values are set for the reference channel in 2 gain states. Compensation for all 3 channels at 2 PA states being done accordingly. 2.2.4 Range of operating RF Power for WCDMA The LE910Cx families support 7 WCDMA Bands The nominal power levels and tolerances are indicated in the following table:

Proj. nr: 0490, 502, 561 & 582 Rel.:r3 Date: 28.09.20 TECHNICAL NOTE 2.3 GSM TX Tune Up GSM calibration starts with KVCO calibration for all bands in order to insure the corrected VCO slope and good PLL operation. The TX calibration includes the following sections for all GSM bands:
>> Polar calibration
>> Timing delay calibration 2.3.1 Polar calibration Polar calibration is used for both GSM and EDGE. The unit perform TX sweep for 32 RGI values at 2 gain states (1,0) & three channels (Low, mid & high). The AM-to-AM and AM-to-PM characteristics of the PA being measured by the external equipment. The measurement results from the external equipment being processed before they are loaded into the module. The module then uses the AM-to-AM and AM-to-PM tables to provide the appropriate pre-distortion to the PA. Calibration is done at high, mid and low frequency channels, and values are interpolated for any frequency in between. The AM component being reinserted back after the amplification stage to restore the modulation to its original form. 2.3.2 Timing delay calibration Existence of two separate waveform paths through the device could lead to different signal delays on the phase path and envelope path, and could affect the waveform quality. The best-case delay is determined by finding the delay value that results in the lowest ORFS due to modulation measurement at +400 kHz and -400 kHz. The ORFS due to modulation value tied to each delay is the worse one of +400 kHz and -400 kHz offset. 2.3.3 Range of operating RF Power for GSM The LE920 supports 4 GSM Bands The nominal power levels and tolerances are indicated in the following table:
