Spectrum with harmonics caused through passive intermodulation
effects.
Components that can cause PIM
• Connectors
• Jumper cables
• Splitters
• Hybrids
• Filters
• Antennas
• DC blocks
• Lightning Arrestors
Causes of PIM
• Dissimilar metals
• Ferromagnetic metals (nickel, steel, iron)
• Corrosion of passive components in the RF path
• Irregular contact areas
• Mechanical damage
• Resistive Components
• Poorly designed components
