PIM｜Glossary
This section is part of the Miscellaneous Glossary for RF and coaxial systems, explaining related technical terms, standards, and general specifications used in RF and coaxial products.
What Is PIM?
PIM stands for Passive Intermodulation, an unwanted signal generated by passive RF components under high-power conditions.
It can occur due to poor contact conditions, material defects, or nonlinear electrical behavior.
PIM is an important issue in wireless communication and base station systems.
PIM Management in RF Systems
In RF systems, minimizing PIM is important for maintaining communication quality and reducing interference.
Connector contact quality, material selection, plating, and assembly conditions affect PIM performance.
Low-PIM components are widely used in mobile communication infrastructure and base station equipment.
