wideband PIM measurement system

Wideband PIM measurement system

PIM Point is a wideband PIM measurement system in an industry standard 3U 19” rack format. A wideband 600MHz –2700MHz 1U PIM Analyser is supplied with a 2U Multicarrier PA (MCPA).Optional 1U low PIM band test duplexers can be supplied for reverse PIM measurement. Performance can be tailored to user requirements by installing a number of software options.

PIM Point is designed to operate with a variety of control and filter / combiner configurations for maximum flexibility. Scalable solution accelerates test time by allowing all bands in a multi-band/multi-port antenna to be evaluated in a single test sequence.  This increases throughput, lowers costs and also provides new measurement capabilities such as cross band PIM.
