Nowadays, the interference between neighbor basestations is getting higher as mobile communication services expand, then the increase of the interference causes IMD(Intermolulation Distortion) problems for not only active devices but also passive devices. In this paper, we have designed and assembled several adapters having variable plating thickness and materials to analyze PIMD(Passive Intermodulation Distortion) mechanisms for coaxial cables which is one of the representative passive RF devices. The measurement results of the assembled adapters show that IM level depends on conductivity of plating materials, plating thickness, device structure, aging effect and so on. Furthermore, we have obtained PIMD mechanisms and some control methods of PIMD from the results.

This work investigates the effects of vibration on the passive intermodulation distortion characteristics of base station antennas for 800 MHz CDMA mobile communication systems. In general, base station antennas are located at high positions such as on building rooftops or iron towers. Thus the antennas are always affected by random vibrations, coming from various natural environmental factors such as rain and wind, or from living environmental factors such as vehicles and trains passing by. The measured intermodulation distortion characteristics before and after vibration accelerated degradation test show that vibrations are indeed the main cause for the intermodulation distortion performances of such antennas. To minimize the effects of vibrations, a new antenna design isptoposed that has an improved tolerance for vibrations. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna design dramatically reduces the degradation of the intermodulation distortion more than 35 dB.

In this paper, the Passive Intermodulation Distortion(PIMD) of high power RF Filter is measured with filter inner coating materials and we suggest how to reduced the PIMD of RF filter coating methods. According to the standard measurement regulation by IEC, the Passive Intermodulation Distortion of Wibro relay high power filter are measured. We suggest the coating materials and coating methods of high power filter inner structure to reduce the PIMD generating by insert loss and worse flatness of filter delay in the design of Wibro high power filter efficiently.

This paper describe the passive intermodulation products(PIMs) which are formed in high power Ku-band transponder and antenna subsystem on the Communication St Broadcasting Satellite(CBS)program when two transmit carriers beat together to generate harmonics that fall into the receive band. How the PIMs are initially generated and the effect of PIMs for Ku-Band payload system are analyzed by calculating the PIMs frequencies and the power level of PIMs.

In this paper, we developed a wideband PIMD system to measure passive intermodulation distortion signals of mobile communication RF passive module. To represent wideband characteristic, we designed a receiver that meets low-noise and wideband characteristics in RF receiver. It allows high dynamic range in the RF receiver front end. In designed passive intermodulation distortion measurement system, we programed to display a PIMD signal with FPGA/DSP at PC. Implemented PIMD system was variable from 650 MHz to 2700 MHz and show up to -138 dB minimum detectable $3^{rd}$ passive inetrmodulation distortion signal.

In this paper, we developed a system for measuring a passive intermodulation distortion signal of the mobile communication RF module having a wide band characteristic. The Broadband was designed to represent the characteristics of the receiver to meet the low noise characteristics and wideband characteristics in the RF receiver were to represent a wide dynamic range(high dynamic range)from the RF receiving end. PIMD designed passive intermodulation distortion signal measured by applying the FPGA / DSP in the system was measured to record the program on the PC. Variable up to 650MHz-2700MHz showed up to-138dBc measured PIMD3.

In this paper, the technique of analysis and optimization on the Passive intermodulation(PIM) in a filter using coaxial transmission resonator, is presented. The developed simulation technique can reduce PIM power without the degradation of the linear filter response, through the variation of filter dimensions. The increase of PIM in filter is depended on currents flowing through each resonator forming filter. The reduction of these currents therefore makes the reduction of PIM power.

Resident mobile communication system technology has been developed. But, surged high voltages in antenna generally have damaged mobile communication. To solve this problem, we use arrester in Rx-Tx line system. That is, the arrester is to protect devices in system against considerable over-voltages or lighting strike. Currently, system protection using of arrester has been arrived in content level but these days, the fact of PIMD(Passive Intermodulation Distortion) which is RF passive components' nonlinear characteristic has appeared. This paper describes PIMD' causes occurred in arrester-estimated from Gas tube capsule, plating, temperature, humidity by experiment.
