Information Technology Solutions
Passive Intermodulation (PIM) is an unwanted mixing
effect caused by non-linearity of passive components in
the RF path of telecommunication systems. PIM diverts
signal energy to other frequencies (spurious signals). This
can generate interfering signals that may fall into
receiving bands causing serious degradation of system
performance.
Causes of PIM:
 Dissimilar metals with different electrical properties as
well as corroded components and structures.
 Ferromagnetic metals like iron, nickel and steel, show
hysteresis effects when RF energy is applied.
 Irregular contact areas, even on a microscopic scale,
cause an inconsistent flow of electrons, generating
inhomogeneous electrical fields.
 Spark discharges that may happen by accidental “hot”
connections and disconnections create craters on the
connectors’ surfaces and lead to chemical reactions.
PIM S1L testers are ideal for component testing in the
laboratory and/or during quality control. They provide
a wealth of features that deliver accurate and reliable
results. They are very easy to operate; it takes just
one click to start a predefined test.
Modern telecommunication technologies demand PIM
testing of network infrastructures and their
components. Low PIM components are particularly
important when wireless frequencies are combined.
Signal degradation caused by PIM causes loss of
capacity, which translates directly into dissatisfied
customers as well as reduced revenues for the
operators. Low PIM components are key to network
optimization. .

Laboratories and Quality Control
Departments demand accurate
and reliable test instruments.
With this in mind, AWT has
introduced the S1L PIM tester
series. This product line offers a
wealth of features that are ideal
for test and research. These
instruments easy to operate and
can document test results as
PDF, CSV or JPG (Screen Shot).
The wide adjustable Tx power
range (15dBm to 44 dBm) allows
to test conform to IEC62037
specification, but it allows also to
measure low power rating
components.
