Application Note: Measuring The Passive Intermodulation Performance Of RF Cable Assemblies
Source: Summitek Instruments, Inc.
As an increasing volume of voice and data information must pass
through a fixed bandwidth in wireless communication systems,
passive intermodulation distortion has become one factor which
limits system capacity. Just as in active devices, passive
intermodulation (IM) occurs when signals at two or more
frequencies mix together in a non-linear fashion to produce
spurious signals. When these spurious IM signals fall within the receive (uplink) band of a base
station, receiver desensitization can occur. This can degrades call quality, or degrade the system
C/I thus reducing the capacity of the communications system.
