Crew Lead

Prodiconn Solutions LLC

04.2001 - 01.2020

AT&T's PIM Mitigation, 2020
My job was to perform A PIM Sweep with the Anritsu to see what our
DTP is along with our dbm loss, followed by PIM Hunting with the spectrum analyzer probe and the Augi to determine where the PIM
Source is coming from to assess what we will have to do to minimise the PIM Source
Avoid bad RF connections using connectors
Make sure wherever connectors are used, they are securely tightened
Cable absorbers are used as needed on end points
Low PIM cables are preferred from manufacturers with fully soldered connectors
Passive components with minimum specifications of -155dBc @ 2 x 20 Watt should be used
It is preferable to use connectors, cables and tools from the same manufacturer
This is because technical specifications vary manufacturer to manufacturer and if avoided will lead to mismatch at junction/connection points
Ideal installation should be maintained without any loose connections and without any extra stress than needed
Parts should be cleaned before connections or soldering
Complete all tasks followed by photos to show all findings and input all information on to a Mitigation form for records to turn into your carrier and or client.
