Passive Intermodulation (PIM), the new benchmark in antenna system health, has become one of the greatest challenges of frequency planners in today’s mobile communication systems. System planners, equipment and component vendors alike are faced with the ever changing dynamics of higher transmit signals and basestation sensitivity and the nonlinear response of two or more frequency signals causing serious interference and network signal degradation. With the uncertainty of the root cause of PIM in any given system, the need to deploy specific testing solutions in a professional, reliable instrument has become paramount in maintaining the overall antenna health for system providers.
The PiMPro family of analyzers has been designed to meet these challenges. Their compact, portable yet rugged features provide maximum power in a reliable, field proven design without compromising the accuracy and precision of intermodulation measurements.
By design, the family of PiMPro Precision Passive Intermod Analyzers provide precise measurement of the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th order of intermodulation of any system or component under high-power conditions. In addition to passive intermodulation measurements, the units will provide VSWR and Return Loss values. PiMPro Analyzers can be used to verify the integrity of individual passive components including connectors, cable assemblies, antennas, filters, making them an integral performance tool in the field and in the lab.
