Webinar - Are Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Effects of Concern for In-Building DAS Venues?

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:41:00 -0400

PIM signals residing in the receiving bands of telecommunication systems interfere with actual Rx signals and with that, reduce the network's capacity. The amount of unwanted PIM signals is directly proportional to the carrier power in the RF path. While macro cells operate at high power levels, most in-building DAS networks use low antenna power levels because they employ multiple antennas. Compared to macro cells, each antenna needs to cover only a relatively small area. Does ubiquitous system noise supersede any PIM effects? Wolfgang Damm discusses causes of Passive Intermodulation (PIM), its effects on network quality and offers guidelines to ensure networks provide maximum bandwidth.

Importance of Low PIM Components Webinar

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:41:00 -0400

The advent of wireless with its tightly grouped, high power, high frequency signals and the associated high sensitivity receivers has created many unanticipated PIM (Passive Intermodulation) problems. PIM is caused by improper design of the passive, sharing transmission line by the receive signal. This brief overview describes a few of the problems and solutions encountered by Microlab/FXR in its efforts to supply PIM-free wireless components.
