Figure 7 Signal Flow in Normal Operation
The MSM7715 uses the analog loopback test (ALB) mode and remote digital loopback test
(RDLB) mode as the modem testing functions. In these test modes, the signal flow shown in
Figure 8 is used. O (originate)/A (answer) in the test mode is the expression based on the
modulator side. In ALB mode, the transmit analog signal is input to the demodulator and can
be monitored as RD. In RDLB mode, the modem is configured as the remote modem in the RDL
test mode.
Data from the other modem that requested for RDL is returned to the other modem as a result
of echo-back.
