Anritsu Company has recently introduced
a Windows-based remote control software for its PIM Master MW82119A, the
industry's first high-power, battery-operated, portable PIM test analyzer. With
the software, field technicians on the ground can control an MW82119A configured
on top of the tower, making it easier and more efficient to conduct highly
accurate Passive Intermodulation (PIM) measurements, especially for
difficult-to-access sites, such as Remote Radio Head (RRH) installations.
The free-of-charge software is
compatible with any laptop or tablet operating with Windows XP SP2 through
Windows 7 64 bit. Connection to the PIM Master MW82119A can be made over
Ethernet or compact Wi-Fi travel router. The new software continues Anritsu's
commitment to providing the marketplace with test solutions that address field
market conditions.
The software will work with all six PIM
Master MW82119A models, which address key frequency ranges, including the upper
and lower 700 MHz bands, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 1900/2100
MHz. PIM Master MW82119A analyzers incorporate Anritsu's patented
Distance-to-PIM™ (DTP) technology, allowing tower contractors, maintenance
contractors, and wireless service provider field technicians to pinpoint the
location of PIM problems, whether they are on the tower or outside the antenna
system. The analyzers also test at 40W, which allows the PIM Master MW82119A to
locate faults that conventional 20W test solutions might miss, such as
intermittent and power-sensitive PIM problems.
As with all Anritsu handheld test
solutions, the PIM Master MW82119A is designed to withstand transportation
shock, vibration, and harsh outdoor test conditions associated with cell site
deployment, installation, and maintenance. Testing is simplified by the
analyzer’s ability to save and recall test set ups for standardized testing,
and limit lines can be set for visual and/or audible pass/fail criteria.
Anritsu's Line Sweep Tools can be used to manage PIM Master MW82119A measurements,
and generate reports that combine VSWR data, as well as PIM data into a unified
site report. PIM measurements can be tagged with the GPS location when the
analyzers are equipped with the GPS option.
