Anritsu has expanded its line of passive intermodulation (PIM) test solutions with the PIM master MW82119A, a high-power, battery-operated, portable PIM test analyser.

Six models are available to address major frequency ranges, including the upper and lower 700 MHz bands, 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and 1900/2100 MHz.

All six analysers incorporate DTP technology, allowing tower contractors, maintenance contractors and wireless service provider field technicians to pinpoint the location of PIM problems, whether they are on the tower or outside the antenna system.

The analysers also test at 40 W, which allows the analyser to locate faults that conventional 20 W test solutions might miss, such as intermittent and power-sensitive PIM problems.

The series includes distance-to-PIM (DTP) in a compact housing suitable for difficult-to-access sites, such as remote radio head (RRH) installations and indoor distributed antenna systems (DAS).

The analysers are designed to withstand transportation shock, vibration and harsh outdoor test conditions associated with cell site deployment, installation and maintenance.

Testing is simplified by the analyser’s ability to save and recall test set-ups for standardised testing and limit lines can be set for visual and/or audible pass/fail criteria.

The company’s line sweep tools can be used to manage the analyser’s measurements and generate reports that combine VSWR data as well as PIM data into a unified site report.

PIM measurements can be tagged with the GPS location when the analysers are equipped with the GPS option.
