Communication Components Inc. (CCI) has developed the PiMPro Tower Series, providing mobile network operators and their service providers with a solution for PIM (passive intermodulation) testing during the installation and maintenance of base stations. Thanks to a new sales cooperation agreement, the PIM analyzer is now available exclusively from Rohde & Schwarz.
The analyzer complements the mobile network testing portfolio from Rohde & Schwarz, which includes T&M solutions for compliance, installation, optimization, operation and benchmarking of mobile networks.
Users are able to perform PIM, return loss, distance-to-PIM and distance-to-fault measurements without requiring additional hardware, even in difficult-to-access areas. Its measurement sensitivity of –135 dBm and its ability to reduce two-tone transmit signals to 24 dBm (100 mW) make the PIM analyzer an useful instrument for measurements on base stations and DAS.
