AWTs PIM Analyzers are ideal for production and laboratory. These instruments are very accurate, yet highly reliable and built for true continuous 247 operation. The complete system consists only of one unit, making set-up easy and operation convenient.

With the introduction of new wireless technologies like LTE, and LTE-A, network operators demand RF components that offer excellent PIM characteristics. AWTs PIM Analyzers are well suited for this task. With -172dBc sensitivity, our analyzers detect all PIM issues of tested RF components. Engineers appreciate the high accuracy over 100% of the IM measurements.Precision PIM Analyzer for production and laboratory.

3 Measurement modes: PIM Analyzer, PIM over Time, PIM over Frequency (Frequency Sweep).
Forward and reverse PIM measurements ( 2-port).
Upgrade to dual-band possible.
Passive Intermodulation (PIM) analyzers measure the amount of unwanted intermodulation signals, generated by passive components. Increasing demand for data bandwidth mandates optimally performing, high quality network elements. Wireless carriers use exclusively high quality low PIM components to ensure optimal performance of their networks today and in the future.

PIM is caused by RF components that show non-linear frequency behavior. Even the most careful production process can introduce PIM. Therefore, every single component has to be tested. It is paramount for manufacturersto minimize PIM during both, the design phase and the production process.

Test Modes: Field Mode, Analyzer, multi PIM display, Rx sweep, PIM vs. Time, Single Carrier for Insertion Loss (IL) measurements.

Low PIM components and installations are particularly important for highest network capacity and reliable transmission. Signal degradation caused by PIM effects reduces data capacity and can lead to interrupted and even dropped calls.

AWTs new LPSU series high power, low PIM switch units combine 65 low PIM ports or 14 low PIM ports. These switch matrices are designed in testing situations that require multi-band PIM sources, components or antennas. Combinations of multi-band PIMtesting are now easily possible, improving workflow significantly. LPSUs can be integrated in existing production control systems.

AWTs new shield boxes are intended to test and measure for mobile phones, PDAs, mobile devices, Bluetooth devices, DMBDAB, RFID, or Zigbees. These shielding enclosures perform effectively against RF interferences from noisy environments.

Production testing requires fast and highly reliable PIM analyzers. As the spectrum of manufactured products widens, PIM analysis may have to be performed on additional frequencies. Our Expandable PIM Analyzer is can be equipped with one to four different RF Units.Expandable PIM Analyzer for Manufacturing and Laboratory. Control Unit can control up to 4 different RF Units.
3 Measurement Modes: PIM Analyzer, PIM over Time, PIM over Frequency (Frequency Sweep).
RF Units measure forward & reverse PIM (2-port).
Measures Intermodulation products IM3, IM5 IM7, IM9, IM11 and IM13
Passive Intermodulation (PIM) analyzers measure the amount of unwanted intermodulation signals generated by passive components. Increasing demand for wireless data bandwidth requires networks that operate optimally. Leading global wireless carriers use only low PIM components to guarantee best possible quality of their networks. Since PIM is detrimental to both, network performance and capacity, low PIM components are vital to achieve this goal. PIM is caused by RF components that show non-linear frequency behavior. Reducing PIM to a minimum must be the ultimate goal for manufacturers of RF components.

Expandable PIM AnalyzersAWTs Expandable PIM Analyzers grow with widening manufacturing requirements. The Main Control Unit can handle up to four RF Units with different frequency bands. To minimize expenses, customers can choose to start with only one basic frequency band and install additional RF Units later when needed. There is no need to send units back to the factory for the upgrade; additional RF Units can be installed in the field.

Whether growing with demand, or offering greatest flexibility with four frequency bands, AWTs Expandable PIM Analyzers are a cost efficient solution for manufacturing and laboratory.

Up to 4 PIM frequency bands for multi-band testing.
Single connection Passive Intermodulation and S-parameter measurements.
Uses Agilent E5072A ENA series network analyzers.
Measures PIM, return loss and insertion loss.
Verifies complete performance of passive components in one measurement run.
Cost effective solution for high volume production.
Well suited for R&D, Production & QA.
Both PIM and S-parameters, such as return loss or insertion loss, are essential measurements for passive components. Both must be tested in order to fully qualify a passive device. Conventional test systems require a network analyzer and separate PIM analyzers to test a device completely. If different test stations are used, the time required to connect and disconnect components can significantly exceed actual testing time.
