Anritsu Company introduces its first generation high performance PIM testing solution, the MW8219A, for the 1900/2100 MHz PCS/AWS frequency bands. Anritsu has developed the PIM Master to verify if receiver interference at a cell site is due to an intermodulation product of two or more transmit frequencies, also known as passive intermodulation (PIM).
The Anritsu PIM Master features patented technology – Distance-to-PIM™. In just a few seconds, Distance-to-PIM can find the distance and relative magnitude of all static PIM sources in an antenna system and beyond the antenna. Only Distance-to-PIM can find the location of:
- Dirty connectors
- Corroded connectors
- Over torqued connectors
- Microscopic arcing connectors
- PIM outside the antenna system
PIM is power sensitive, and today there is more power than ever going up the tower. PIM Master features 2 x 40 W of RF power to activate the PIM, making it more visible to find the PIM that cannot be found on traditional 20 W PIM testers.
