NHM-2/5nx,ny/6/9 Troubleshooting PAMS Technical Documentation The signal-path is through Z501 (In-band insertion-loss 3,5dB), through the matching circuit (C517 ) and to the GSM1800 LNA (V500, RFin). The LNA has about 18dB gain when it is "on" (LNAB_G = 2.8V and LNA_P = 0V). If the signal applied to the antenna-connector is more than –45dBm the AGC will gain-step the LNA (LNAB_G = 2.8V and LNA_P = 0V) which means the LNA Gain will now have negative gain (loss) of –12dB.

NHM-2/5nx,ny/6/9 Troubleshooting PAMS Technical Documentation +DJDU DQG VHULDO LQWHUIDFH In general, if phone is not in a sleep mode, Hagar chip is always active. This means that, as long as we have set the phone in Normal mode or in Local mode (either RX or TX band ) there is going to be some Hagar activities, which is controled through serial interface (SDATA,SCLK,SENA and HAGAR_RESET_X).
Page 71
NHM-2/5nx,ny/6/9 PAMS Technical Documentation Troubleshooting First precondition for Hagar to be in active (ON) mode is that HAGAR_RESET_X should be high (2.8V) and VREF, which is Hagar reference voltage, at 1.35V. Easiest way to check these two voltages is by using oscilloscope with an standard passive probe (10kΩ/8pF).
