  • Patent number: 10263713
    Abstract: A location is identified of at least one PIM (passive intermodulation) source in a frequency selective device by applying an excitation waveform to the frequency selective device and measuring a PIM response signature of the frequency selective device. The PIM response signature is a characteristic of PIM produced in response to the excitation waveform. The measured PIM response signature is compared with each of a plurality of example PIM response signatures, each of the plurality of example PIM response signatures corresponding to a characteristic of PIM expected for a respective location of a PIM source in the frequency selective device. The location of the at least one PIM source within the frequency selective device is determined on the basis of the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20130233193
    Abstract: A blank (1) of stiff resilient sheet is folded along transversely extending fold or score lines (10) and fixed into open ended triangular cylinder shape by means of tab (7) and slot (8). A shaped charge (15) can be positioned in opening (5) and held in place using elastic cord (12). This provides a compact, lightweight and easy to assemble disposable weapon stand.
