Taking advantage of advances in technology, the new D Configuration of the PIM Analyzer adds flexibility and lowers the cost for companies needing to test in multiple bands.

Englewood, CO January 30, 2007. Summitek Instruments has upgraded the hardware design of their world standard PIM Analyzers to provide added flexibility for broadband testing of RF components used in the high power path of basestations. The new architecture is comprised of three major building blocks: RF Module for frequency generation and signal reception; Power Amplifier Module for generating the required high power signals and for power detection and control, and; Front End Module, for combining the two high power signals onto a single RF path and duplexing the transmit and receive signals to achieve the required PIM test capability.

The Summitek PIM Analyzers are available for every major wireless band worldwide from 150 MHz to 3600 MHz. The PIM Analyzers achieve a -168 dBc PIM noise floor at 43 dBm carrier powers for most of the available frequency ranges. A Technical Data Brochure is available on the website.
