TinySA ULTRA LEVEL CAL -> Signal Level incorrect #ultra


 


zeenko store (aliexpress) Order date: Dec 18, 2022 I have tinysa ULTRA with HW V0.4.5.1.

Apply a new firmware today tinySA4_v1.4-33-ga8bffcf.bin to my TinuSa ULTRA
CONFIG -> MORE -> CLEAR CONFIG
CONFIG -> LEVEL CAL -> RESET CALIBLATION & CALIBLATE 100kHz to 5.34GHz

an error was displayed.
>1T 30.00026MHz -60,9dBm/T
Signal Level incorrect
Check cable between connection connectors
Touch screen to continue

I have reverted to the firmware around the date of purchase. Can I install the latest firmware?
tinySA4_v1.3-556-g9825888.bin is CALIBLATION and SELF TEST OK
tinySA4_v1.3-563-g1da836e.bin is Signal Level incorrect

Masahiro Kusunoki/JP3SRS


 

Can test again with a different coax cable?

Yes

?

Calibration was performed using the RG223 cable.

This cable is also used in VNA and there are no broken wires.

?

Thank you in advance.

No, I changed to RG223 cable and performed the test.

tinySA4_v1.3-556-g9825888.bin is CALIBLATION and SELF TEST OK

firmware after tinySA4_v1.3-563-g1da836e.bin is Signal Level incorrect.

The firmware after tinySA4_v1.4-33-ga8bffcf.bin is also Signal Level incorrect.

What code did you use with the clear config?
Did the tinySA reboot after entering the code
Did the ref level indicator turn red after the clear config

This is very confusing.
Can you use the serial over usb command to dump the low correction table:
correction low
This will dump the correction table.
Also give the command?
leveloffset
And post the respone
Please post the data using the latest fw as I do not understand why one fw gives a success selftest and others do not

The calibration did partially complete, the LNA level calibration seems to have failed.
And selftest 13 fails, this is the LNA test.
It seems the LNA is not working correctly
The reason the older FW did not show this error is because the check of the signal level during LNA calibration was only introduced in newer FW version.
You can try yo replace the LNA, this has previously been done by someone so it seems to be possible.
The LNA is U14 and it is a?BGA2817, available from many suppliers for acceptable price.
Or you can contact the supplier for replacement.

Thank you for taking a look at the caliblation results.

I will replace the parts for U14 BGA2817 as advised.

It will take some time for the parts to arrive so I will work on it next week.

Thanks.

  1. The soldering on C74 appeared to be short-circuited and has been corrected.
  2. Replaced LNA on U14.
  3. Update firmware tinySA4_v1.4-40-g2f63e1c.bin
  4. Do caliblate and selftest check

CLEAR CONFIG -> CALIBLATE 100kHz to 3.54GHZ PASS

SELF TEST PASS

The problem of passing with the old firmware and failing with the new v1.4

has been resolved with LNA replacement. I will close this issue.

Thanks for the excellent feedback. I will send this info to manufacturing for future improvements.

The non zero leveloffset values are either in the firmware of measured during calibration
As the LNA calibration previously did fail the leveloffset LNA stayed zero. Now the LNA is working the calibration process updates it to the measured value.

Can you suggest me supplier for BGA2817?.


 

It is available in several places on the net.
Just google for?BGA2817 to see if threr is any place near you.
Mouser or digital for two.

PS,
That was Digikey not digital.
Darn word correction. I hate a phone that tries to think ahead for you!
