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, 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 specifi c testing solutions in
a professional, reliable instrument has become paramount in maintaining
the overall antenna health for system providers.
PiMPro has been designed to meet these challenges. Its compact,
portable yet rugged features provide maximum power in a reliable,
fi eld proven design without compromising the accuracy and precision of
intermodulation measurements.
As a leading provider of wireless basestation enhancement products, CCI
set out to design and develop a reliable solution to system performance
and enhancement challenges. PiMPro employs state-of-the-art technology
and is built to meet the demands and needs of today?s wireless suppliers.
By design, the PiMPro Precision Passive Intermod Analyzer provides 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 unit will provide VSWR and Return Loss
values. PiMPro can be used to verify the integrity of individual passive
components including connectors, cable assemblies, antennas, fi lters,
making it an integral performance tool in the fi eld and in the lab.
