Passive Intermodulation Analyzer Exploits Proprietary Technology

The MW8219A passive intermodulation master (PIM) analyzer from Anritsu Co. employs distance-to-PIM technology that enables users to determine if the PIM source is from the antenna or its surrounding environment (see the figure). Covering Personal Communication Services (PCS) and Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) frequency ranges, the unit works with the company’s S332E/S362E Site Master, MS2712E and MS2713E Spectrum Master, and MT8212E and MT8213E Cell Master analyzers as well as the MT8221B, MT8222A, and MT8222B BTS Master analyzers. The PIM Master generates two high-power tones in the transmit band of a basestation and relies on any of the handheld analyzers to measure the third-, fifth-, or seventh-order intermodulation products in the receive band. Other features include a GPS option on all the analyzers and 40-W testing through the MW8219A. For more info, visit www.anritsu.com/en-US/Products-Solutions/Products/MW8219A.aspx.
