  • DETERMINING DISTANCE TO SOURCE OF PASSIVE INTERMODULATION PRODUCT (PIM) IN A DISTRIBUTED BASE STATION
    Publication number: 20190277956
    Abstract: A method for determining the distance to source of a passive intermodulation (PIM) product for a distributed base station is provided. The method includes generating a test signal; transmitting the test signal on a front haul communication link between a baseband unit and a remote radio head of the distributed base station; receiving the PIM product as a reflected signal at the remote radio head; multiplying the reflected signal by a conjugate of the test signal to create a sinewave; determining a frequency of the sinewave; and determining the distance to the source of the PIM based on the determined frequency of the sinewave.
    Type: Application
