Abstract: A passive intermodulation detection system is provided to remotely identify passive intermodulation at a base station site and diagnose the type of intermodulation and location of the non-linearity that is the source of the passive intermodulation. A passive intermodulation cancelation system can generate an equivalent signal to a received interference signal and use the equivalent signal to generate an error signal. The error signal can then be used to reinforce a learning system and converge on a steady state of the interference signal to cancel other interference signals.
