The smarter way to test

Quickly mitigate PIM and RF interference


for faster time to revenue

Identifying and mitigating PIM and RF interference issues can be a very expensive, manual and time-
consuming process that typically requires multiple tower climbs and/or RF expertise. This is at odds with
pressure to quickly troubleshoot cell sites, deliver close-out packages on time and get paid faster.

Easy-to-use tools that deliver accurate results every time—coupled with simplified test and reporting
processes—are the solution to manage a high number of towers and get the job done right the first time.

Three main types of interference


Internal PIM External PIM External RF interference

Caused by internal RF elements in the radiating Caused by external objects near the cells, such Caused by external objects such as noise from
infrastructure, such as loose connectors, as (usually rusty) metallic objects close to the other RF sources. Examples include electric
damaged cables or connectors, or faulty antenna fences, light dimmers and jammers
antenna elements

What to consider when diagnosing RF interference and PIM issues


• Tower climbs don’t guarantee issue resolution
• Repeat tower climbs are costly
• Technicians have a short window to troubleshoot and solve the issue
• Difficult and unsafe to carry a bulky, heavy PIM analyzer up the tower
• Using various, complex test tools with different interfaces requires extensive training

PIM and RF interference hunting toolkit

Intelligent optical RF spectrum analysis over CPRI (iORF)


10 times faster than any other RF-over-CPRI solution in the industry.
• Determine whether there’s internal or external interference in less than 5 minutes
• Fully automated, complete analysis of the RF spectrum with a pass/fail verdict
• Easy one-button report generation
• No learning curve: easy set-up without the need for RF expertise
• Avoid repeat truck rolls: determine whether the issue is RF interference,
internal PIM or external PIM

+ PIM blankets and absorbers


Use ConcealFab’s PIM blankets and absorbers as temporary RF barriers to isolate PIM sources.
Place the blanket over a suspected source while using iORF to detect the level drop and validate
which PIM source is to blame.

5GPro Spectrum Analyzer


Resolve PIM and RF interference issues 2 times faster than any other RF solution.
• Combined with iORF on the same FTB 5GPro test kit to validate 4G/LTE and 5G networks
• The only field-upgradeable, flexible RF over-the-air spectrum analyzer
• Quickly and easily pinpoint and eliminate the source of PIM and RF interference
• Modular: sub-6GHz (FR1) and mmWave up to 40GHz (FR2) support
• Audible tone for safe and effective PIM and interference detection
• Optimal user experience: easy-to-use and easy-to-interpret user interface
