AWT Global has launched a new product line of Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Analyzers for manufacturing, R&D and QA - PEM42A Series. These new PIM analyzers can handle up to 4 frequency bands in the range of 385 MHz to 2600 MHz. Furthermore, it performs S-Parameter measurements without the need to reconnect cables to the device under test (DUT). The PEM42A system consists of a control and switching unit, with up to 4 frequency modules and an integrated Agilent Network Analyzer (5072A ENA). The ENA serves as precision measurement receiver and for S-Parameter measurements. The control and switch unit now automatically takes care of connecting the right frequency to the DUT.
The PEM42A features adjustable RF signal power that ranges from 20 dBm to 44 dBm (higher power levels are available on request). With a noise floor less than -135dBm. It performs both, reverse and forward PIM measurements very accurately - with reverse PIM measurements of less than -165 dBc and forward PIM measurements of less than -163 dBc. The new system delivers Tx signals with 2 ppm frequency stability and +/-0.65 dB amplitude accuracy and the overall measurement accuracy is +/-1.0 dB. The system comes with large 10.2” touch screen display, and offers 6x USB, 1xLAN, 1x GPIB interface ports. It is also possible to connect a separate display monitor to the system. These analyzers are available for sale immediately.
