Methods of Low Passive Intermodulation Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the increasing of the transmitted power and improvement of the receiver sensitivity, passive intermodulation (PIM) problem become more and more harmful in high power wireless communication system. Combined with the existing physical mechanism research, this article summaries and analysises of the common solution of passive intermodulation, which provides a reference for low passive intermodulation design.
