Abstract: A method for ascertaining an Intermodulation source by measuring intermodulation in a transmission link having the steps of simultaneously supplying a first and second test signals to the transmission link; measuring an output signal from the transmission link in response to the supplied test signals and analyzing the output signal in a discrete frequency spectrum to determine an intermodulation signal level (PPIM) at a discrete intermodulation frequency (fPIM), the measurement frequency range of the frequency spectrum having at least the signal level (P0 . . . n) associated with a further discrete measurement frequency (f0 . . . n).

Abstract: A method for measuring intermodulation produced in a measurement segment of a signal transmission path, by: producing a first HF signal (u1(t)) and a second HF signal (u2(t)), both having a predetermined frequency progression; feeding the first HF signal (u1(t)) and the second HF signal (u2(t)) to the signal transmission path, wherein an intermodulation signal is produced, which intermodulation signal has a first intermodulation signal component (urPIM(t)) produced in an input segment of the signal transmission path and a second intermodulation signal component (uPIM(t)) produced in the measurement segment of the signal transmission path; producing a compensation signal (uc(t)) in accordance with the first intermodulation signal component (urPIM(t)) produced in the input segment; introducing the compensation signal (uc(t)) into the signal transmission path in order to reduce or cancel out the first intermodulation signal component (urPIM(t)).

Abstract: A method for intermodulation measurement for locating points in a signal transmission path for a high-frequency signal that are faulty with regard to HF transmission properties of the signal transmission path, by generating a first HF signal uTest, having a carrier frequency f1 and a digital signal uCode modulated thereon; generating a second HF signal u2 having a frequency f2; introducing the first HF signal uTest and the second HF signal u2 into the signal transmission path at a predetermined introduction point; receiving an intermodulation product, which is generated in the signal transmission path from the first HF signal and the second HF signal at at least one faulty point, as an intermodulation product signal uRX; recovering a digital signal udemod from uRX; and determining a time shift tx between the digital signal uCode and the recovered digital signal udemod. The invention further relates to a measuring device for performing this method.
