Anritsu developed the MW82119B PIM Master, with Site Master option, to fully characterize the RF performance of transmission systems with a single test instrument. The PIM Master is able to measure: PIM versus Time, Noise Floor, Distance‑to‑PIM (DTP), and Swept PIM. When equipped with Option 331, the PIM Master can also perform Return Loss, VSWR, Cable Loss, and Distance‑to‑Fault (DTF) measurements, similar to a Site Master S331E.
Note
Throughout this guide, screen images are provided as examples. The image and measurement details on your instrument may differ from these examples.
This Measurement Guide describes the operation of the PIM Master MW82119B, battery operated PIM Analyzer for performing PIM measurements. For Cable and Antenna Analyzer measurements enabled by Option 331, please refer to the Cable and Antenna Analyzer Measurement Guide (P/N 10580‑00241).
Note
PIM is a measure of system linearity as compared to line sweeping, which is a measure of system impedance. Both tests are critical to validate a cellular system.
