In last week’s post, we covered foundational details regarding PIM in modern wide-band and multi-carrier communication systems, with a note on upcoming 5G NR sub-6 GHz frequencies being added to the mix. This week’s blog expands upon that discussion and provides more details of PIM considerations specific to DAS. With DAS, another large PIM concern is…

Passive intermodulation distortion is the result of discontinuities, metal-to-metal contact, and material properties that lead to nonlinear characteristics of typically linear passive transmission lines and components. PIM can be induced in a variety of RF components, such as connectors, adapters, cable, combiners, splitters, couplers, tappers, attenuators, terminators, antennas, and cable-to-board interconnect. PIM is generated when…
