Passive intermodulation (PIM) has been recognized as a potential problem in communications systems for nearly 50 years. The phenomenon occurs when two or more signals encounter a nonlinear junction and “child” frequencies are generated that are mathematically related to the “parent” signals. With the advent of cellular communications, PIM...
