Transmitter Tuning
Introduction
In the transmitter, there are two kinds of tunings that can be performed. These are IQ-tuning 
and power level tuning. In general, different repairs require different tunings. In order to decide 
which tuning is necessary after a repair, it is important to understand well the functionality of 
the repaired circuit. In general, it is recommended that if any TX component is changed, both 
these tunings are done. 
Note: All tunings are done in local mode using Phoenix to control the phone.   
TX IQ Tuning
The tuning must be carried out in all three bands. In addition to Phoenix, a spectrum analyzer 
(SA) is needed. Connect the SA to the RF connector of the module jig. The settings of the spec-
trum analyzer will depend on the band to be tuned. The following table summarizes the settings 
for each of the three bands.
For this tuning, two windows of Phoenix must be open: (1) Testing -> RF Controls, and (2) 
Tuning -> TX IQ Tuning, as seen in figures below.
