Chapter 1 — General Information 1-2 Instrument Description
1-2 Instrument Description

Anritsu has developed the PIM Master, with Site Master option, to fully characterise the RF
performance of transmission systems with a single test instrument. Previously, two separate
analyzers were required to measure Passive Intermodulation (PIM) and impedance
mismatches in RF transmission lines. With Site Master Option 331 installed, the PIM Master
can now perform both of these tests to ensure minimum signal degradation, minimum noise
generation, and maximum signal throughput. Test capabilities with Option 331 installed
include:
• PIM vs. TIME
• Swept PIM
• Noise Floor
• Distance-to-PIM
• Return Loss
• VSWR
• Cable Loss
• Distance-to-Fault (DTF)

1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance Chapter 1 — General Information
1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Site Master care and preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and
cleaning the RF connectors on the instrument and all accessories. Clean the Site Master with
a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.
Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Connector Care
Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured
alcohol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the
N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether
the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are
correct. Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in
appearance, and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.
To prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a plain wrench to tighten the
Type-N connectors. The recommended torque is 12 lbf· in to 15 lbf· in (1.36 N·m to 1.70 N·m).
Inadequate torque settings can affect measurement accuracy. Over-tightening connectors can
damage the cable, the connector, the instrument, or all of these items.
Visually inspect connectors for general wear, cleanliness, and for damage such as bent pins or
connector rings. Repair or replace damaged connectors immediately. Dirty connectors can
limit the accuracy of your measurements. Damaged connectors can harm the instrument.
Connection of cables carrying an electrostatic potential, excess power, or excess voltage can
damage the connector, the instrument, or both.
Connecting Procedure
1. Carefully align the connectors.
The male connector center pin must slip concentrically into the contact fingers of the
female connector.
2. Push connectors straight together. Do not twist or screw them together.
3. To tighten, turn the connector nut, not the connector body. Major damage can occur to
the center conductor and to the outer conductor if the connector body is twisted.
4. When you use a torque wrench, initially tighten by hand so that approximately 1/8 turn
or 45 degrees of rotation remains for the final tightening with the torque wrench.
Relieve any side pressure on the connection (such as from long or heavy cables) in order
to assure consistent torque. Use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from
turning while tightening with the torque wrench.
Do not over torque the connector.

Chapter 1 — General Information 1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance
Test Cable from PIM Master to DUT

Remove O-rings from the test cable and be sure that the connectors are clean. If the
DUT connector has an O-ring, then use a torque wrench to tighten the connector.
When testing, cables are connected and disconnected many times. In order to
save wear on these test cables and RF adapters, Anritsu recommends removing
the O-rings. This allows getting a sufficiently tight connection without unnecessary
stress on the connectors. In the field, O-rings are important to maintain connection
Note integrity over long time periods. Connections must be torqued to specifications in
order to ensure that they prevent water intrusion.
During your test, if the DUT connector has an o-ring, leave it in place and tighten
to the correct torque.
Disconnecting Procedure
1. If a wrench is needed, use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning
while loosening with a second wrench.
2. Complete the disconnection by hand, turning only the connector nut.
3. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.
Connector Saver
Anritsu recommends attaching an adapter to the 7/16 DIN female RF Out connector and
using the adapter for the working connector. This connector saver reduces wear on the
instrument PIM Test connector. Typically, 500 matings is the life of a connector for PIM
testing. The connector saver can remain on the PIM Master inside the soft case.
4. Adapter: 7/16 DIN(f) to 7/16 DIN(m), 50 Ω (Connector Saver). One connector saver is
provided with your test instrument. Replacement connector savers can be purchased
from Anritsu. The part number is in your Technical Data Sheet.

1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance Chapter 1 — General Information
ESD Caution
The PIM Master, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas often build up a static charge, which
(if allowed to discharge by connecting directly to the PIM Master without discharging the
static charge) may damage the PIM Master input circuitry.
Operators must be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary
Caution
precautions.
Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625
(EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices,
equipment, and practices. Because these apply to the PIM Master, Anritsu recommends that
any static charges that may be present be dissipated before connecting coaxial cables or
antennas to the PIM Master. This may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load
device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the PIM Master. It is important to
remember that the operator may also carry a static charge. Following the practices outlined
in the above standards will ensure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.
Battery Information
The batteries that are supplied with the PIM Master may need charging before use. They can
be charged using either the AC-DC Adapter or the DC adapter. The batteries can also be
charged by using an external charger (refer to your Technical Data Sheet). Refer to
Section E-3 “Battery Care” on page E-2.
Use only Anritsu Company approved batteries, adapters, and chargers with this
instrument.
The batteries charge at a faster rate when the instrument is turned off. Charging
the batteries while the instrument is running requires a longer time to reach a full
charge.
Note To prolong the useful battery life, the internal charging circuit monitors the battery
temperature. Normal charging occurs when the battery temperature is between
0 °C and 45 °C. Charging is paused if the internal battery temperature is beyond
this range.
Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for long-term storage of the
instrument.
When using the Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter, always verify that the
supply is rated for a minimum of 40 Watts at 12 VDC, and that the socket is clear
Caution
of any dirt or debris. If the adapter plug becomes hot to the touch during operation,
then discontinue use immediately.
The PIM Master batteries can be replaced without the use of tools. The battery compartment
access is on the bottom of the PIM Master. Refer to Section E-4 “Battery Replacement”
on page E-3.

Chapter 1 — General Information 1-4 Calibration Requirements
PIM Master Firmware Update

Refer to Section E-5 “PIM Master Firmware Update” on page E-6 for firmware upgrade
procedures.
1-4 Calibration Requirements

Field calibrate your PIM Master as required to achieve acceptable residual PIM. The
instrument provides calibration prompts to help you determine calibration status. Anritsu
recommends annual factory calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu
service centers. The Cable and Antenna Analyzer mode requires calibration standards for
OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD (OSL), which are sold separately.
Anritsu recommends allowing the instrument to warm up to typical operation

Note
temperature (approximately 15 minutes) before calibrating.
1-5 Wireless Remote Control

Browser based control allows you to remotely control the PIM Master from any Wi-Fi enabled
device with web browser software (Chrome or Firefox preferred). This includes a wide range
of tablets and phones running Android or iOS operating systems as well as the traditional
Linux and Windows laptop and desktop computers.
Wi-Fi links are useful in the field, particularly when the PIM Master is on a tower, and you
are on the ground.
For wireless remote control, a Wi-Fi router must be connected to the PIM Master.
Refer to Appendix C, “Wireless Remote Control” for more details on using this capability to
enable wireless control.

The Anritsu PIM Master is capable of producing 80 Watts of RF power in the

cellular communications bands. Users must take precautions to minimize
exposure to these RF fields:
Always terminate the PIM output port of the test equipment into a load, a
loaded line, or a line that will radiate or absorb the energy before beginning
a PIM test.
Warning
Confirm that the PIM Master RF power is off after a PIM test.
Always confirm that the PIM RF power is off before disconnecting a coaxial
connection, otherwise RF burns may result. Immediate burns to fingers or
eyes can result from exposure to live connectors.
Ensure that all antennas under test are placed so that no personnel are
exposed to RF levels that exceed the maximum allowable exposure.
2-2 Turning On the PIM Master for the First Time

The Anritsu MW82119B PIM Master is capable of more than 3.0 hours of continuous
operation from a fully charged, field-replaceable battery (refer to Section E-4 “Battery
Replacement” on page E-3). The PIM Master can also be operated from a 12 VDC source
(which will also simultaneously charge the battery). This can be achieved with either the
Anritsu AC Adapter or Automotive 12 Volt Adapter. Both items are included as standard
accessories (refer to the list of accessories in the Technical Data Sheet for your specific
instrument, as listed in Appendix A).
When using the Automotive Adapter, always verify that the supply is rated for a
minimum of 60 Watts at 12 VDC and that the socket is clear of any dirt or debris. If
Caution
the adapter plug becomes hot to the touch during operation, then discontinue use
immediately.
To turn on the MW82119B PIM Master, press the On/Off button on the front panel
(Figure 2-3 on page 2-4). The PIM Master takes approximately forty seconds to complete
power-up and to load the application software. At the completion of this process, the
instrument is ready to be used.
Anritsu recommends that you turn on your PIM Master and let it warm up for
Note
10 minutes before performing your first calibration.

Chapter 3 — Quick Start Guide
The Anritsu PIM Master is capable of producing 80 Watts of RF power in the

cellular communications bands. Users must take precautions to minimize
exposure to these RF fields:
Always terminate the PIM output port of the test equipment into a load, a
loaded line, or a line that will radiate or absorb the energy before beginning
a PIM test.
Warning
Confirm that the PIM Master RF power is off after a PIM test.
Always confirm that the PIM RF power is off before disconnecting a coaxial
connection, otherwise RF burns may result. Immediate burns to fingers or
eyes can result from exposure to live connectors.
Ensure that all antennas under test are placed so that no personnel are
exposed to RF levels that exceed the maximum allowable exposure.

Calibrating the PIM Analyzer

Caution During calibration, RF power is present, and the red RF On light is illuminated.
Calibrations are temperature-dependent. A temperature deviation of approximately

20 degrees Celsius voids an existing calibration. Two temperatures are displayed in a white
font (in all PIM measurement modes) in the Instrument Settings Summary, just above the
Calibration On/Off message. One is the temperature in the PIM Master now, and the other is
the temperature in the PIM Master at calibration. When the current temperature (labeled
now) changes up or down to within 2 degrees of the calibration limit, the font color of the
current temperature is displayed in yellow. This color changes to red if the current
temperature exceeds the calibration limit. N/A is displayed for the calibration temperature
when no valid calibration file exists for the current instrument settings.
All calibrations are valid for an initial 12-hour limit. If the PIM Master remains On, and if all
settings remain consistent, then the current calibration file remains effective. If any setting is
changed after 12 hours, including a power cycle of the PIM Master (Off and On), then a
warning is presented indicating that the current calibration is more than 12 hours old. The
message instructs the user to verify the instrument residual PIM level and re-calibrate if
necessary. Calibrations can be used again after settings are changed and then returned to the
previous settings for which the calibration was performed.
The standard calibration calibrates Distance-to-PIM, Swept PIM, PIM vs. TIME, and
Noise Floor - Time View for the current instrument settings. A user defined calibration dialog
is available allowing users to select specific calibrations they wish to perform, and this allows
multiple power level calibrations to be performed at the same time. The following steps
describe the standard calibration process.
1. Press Shift then Cal (2).
2. In the Calibration menu, press the Start Calibration submenu key.
3. Connect a PIM standard onto the test port of the PIM Master, or to the end of the PIM
test cable, and connect a Low PIM Termination onto the PIM standard.
4. Press Enter to calibrate or Esc to exit.
5. During the calibration, CALIBRATION IN PROCESS... is displayed on the
measurement screen in red letters, and a beep is emitted when this step is completed.
6. When prompted, remove the PIM standard and the Low PIM Termination, and then
connect only the Low PIM Termination.
8. If the Low PIM Termination is better than –88 dBm, then the calibration continues, as
in Step 9.
If the Low PIM Termination just installed has high PIM, then this calibration will not
be useful. If the measured PIM is worse than –88 dBm, then a warning is displayed.
See Figure 3-6 on page 3-11. The displayed warning provides 3 options.
a. Verify again After you have made corrections, press this button to continue the
calibration.
b. Bypass verification Press this button to ignore the warning and continue the
calibration.
c. Exit calibration Press this button to abort the current calibration.

Bad Load Detection Feature

The second step of a calibration requires removal of the PIM Standard and reattachment of
the Low PIM Termination. If the Low PIM Termination has measured PIM worse than
–88 dBm, then the WARNING: High PIM detected dialog box is displayed (as shown in
Figure 3-6).

Verifying Residual PIM

Perform this test immediately following a calibration or when instructed to do so, such as
when 12 hours or more have elapsed since the existing calibration was performed. Attach the
Low PIM Termination to the Test Port or to the end of the PIM test cable.
1. From the Measurements menu, press the PIM vs. Time submenu key followed by the
Test submenu key so that Measure is underlined.
2. Lightly tap on the Low PIM Termination and flex the PIM test cable (if attached) during
the PIM vs. Time test. The peak PIM value should be at least 10 dB below the pass/fail
criteria for the DUT.
If the measured PIM is outside of the limit in Step 2, then you may have one of the following
problems:
• Metal flakes inside one or more RF connectors
• Loose RF connector
• Faulty Low PIM Termination
• Worn connector saver
• Damaged PIM Test Port connector
Investigate and repair the source of any problem, and then repeat the calibration process.
Verifying the PIM Standard

1. Connect a PIM Standard to the Test Port or to the end of the PIM test cable.
2. Connect a Low PIM Termination to the PIM Standard.
3. From the Measurements Menu, press the PIM vs. Time submenu key, followed by the
4. The peak PIM value for the PIM Standard that you are testing should be within ± 3 dB
of the numbers shown in Table 3-1 on page 3-13. If the measured PIM is outside of the
± 3 dB limit, contact Anritsu customer service at http://www.anritsu.com/contact-us.

Verifying the PIM Test Cable
When testing, cables are connected and disconnected many times. In order to
save wear on the PIM test port cables and adapters, Anritsu recommends
removing the o-rings. This allows getting a sufficiently tight connection without
unnecessary stress on the connectors. In the field, o-rings are important to
Note maintain connection integrity over long time periods. Connections must be torqued
to specifications in order to ensure that they prevent water intrusion.
During your test, if the DUT connector has an o-ring, leave it in place and tighten
to the correct torque.
If calibration was performed on the instrument test port, then you must next verify the PIM
performance of the test cable.
1. Connect a test cable to the PIM Master and terminate the other end with a Low PIM
Termination.
2. From the Measurements Menu, press the PIM vs. Time submenu key followed by the
3. During the test, flex the test cable and verify that the PIM level of the test cable and the
Low PIM Termination are at least 10 dB below the pass / fail criteria for the DUT.
If the test cable fails, inspect the connections to ensure that they are clean and tight. If
poor performance persists, then repeat the calibration process.
4. If the PIM level of the setup is within specification, then disconnect the Low PIM
Termination and connect the test cable to the DUT for a PIM measurement.
Checking for External Interference

Before performing a PIM test on an antenna system, verify that external interference is not
present at the selected IM frequency.
1. Connect a test cable from the PIM Master to the DUT.
2. Press the Measurements main menu key and then press Noise Floor to open the Noise
Floor submenu.
3. From the Noise Floor submenu, press the Test submenu key so that Measure is
underlined. This will perform a Noise Floor - Time View measurement.
4. Verify that the external noise level at the selected IM frequency is below the required
system pass / fail threshold for PIM.
5. If high nose is detected, press the Noise Floor Spectrum View submenu key. If a
calibration has not already been performed for this feature, press the Start Cal
Spectrum View submenu key and follow the on-screen instructions.
6. Press the Test submenu key so that Measure is underlined. This will perform a
swept noise floor measurement to help identify which frequencies in the uplink band
are clear of interference. Marker 2 automatically shows the location of the current
IM frequency.

Making PIM Measurements

1. Press the Measurements main menu key and then press one of the measurement
submenu keys (PIM vs. Time or Swept PIM).
2. From the Measurements menu, press the Test submenu key so that Measure is
underlined.
3. During the test, tap connectors and the antenna.
Note: Set the test duration time so that you can tap all desired areas.
4. After the measurement is complete, press the Save Measurement submenu key, provide
an appropriate name, and save the measurement. (Refer to Section 4-3 “File
Management” on page 4-3.)
The PIM Master continually monitors Return Loss at the two PIM test frequencies
while performing a PIM test. If the Return Loss exceeds –6 dB, then the PIM test
will be terminated, and a warning message will appear saying, “Warning! High
Reflection from measurement path!”
If this message appears, use a DTF measurement (using Option 331 or a
Note
Site Master) to identify the location of the high reflections.
An option exists to by-pass the high reflection warning and continue testing into a
high return loss system. The PIM value measured may not be accurate when high
reflections are present. This option should be exercised by experienced users for
troubleshooting only.
Measurement Types
From the measurements menu, you can select four measurement types:
PIM versus Time

This measurement tracks instantaneous PIM and also records Peak PIM levels throughout a
fixed frequency PIM test. It is useful for dynamic PIM tests and provides a visual indication
of the stability of the system under test.
Noise Floor
Two different Noise Floor measurements are available to evaluate Rx interferers before
making a PIM measurement. For each measurement, Tx power is Off. The Time View allows
you to check for external interference at the IM frequency that is being measured. The
Spectrum View allows you to view interference levels across the current Rx frequency range.
The IM products of interest are in the same frequency range that is used by mobile user
equipment to communicate with the base station. It is therefore possible for nearby mobile
equipment to generate signals that are high enough to interfere with your PIM measurement.
MW82119B UG PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E 3-15

Distance-to-PIM
Distance-to-PIM (DTP) is similar to Distance-to-Fault (DTF), which Anritsu introduced in the
Site Master for identifying the location of impedance mismatches in a feed line. DTP quickly
and accurately identifies the location of PIM faults inside the feed system as well as beyond
the antenna.
Distance-to-PIM is a swept measurement that enables identification of the location of
multiple PIM sources in the RF path. Distance-to-PIM is an analysis feature only, and it
should not be used as a pass / fail test.
Swept PIM
PIM measurements are the vector sum of all PIM signals that are generated on a line at the
IM frequency being tested. When multiple PIM sources exist, it is possible for the signals to
combine out of phase at a particular test frequency to indicate a passing result when the
individual PIM levels are actually failures. A Swept PIM test varies the IM frequency over a
range of frequencies to provide you with a clearer picture of the true PIM performance of the
system.
Adding a Limit Line

1. Press the Shift key and then the Limit (6) key.
2. Press the Limit (Upper / Lower) submenu key to select the desired limit line, Upper or
Lower.
Note The upper limit must be On in order to use the Limit Alarm or the Pass Indicator.
3. Activate the selected limit line by pressing the On Off submenu key so that On is
underlined.
4. If necessary, press the Set Default Limit submenu key to redraw the limit line in view.
5. Press the Amplitude submenu key to set the Limit value.
6. Press the Limit Alarm submenu key to toggle the alarm setting On and Off. The current
setting is underlined.
Although the instantaneous PIM values may be displayed in white numerals at the end of a
measurement, if the measured PIM value exceeded the upper limit setting at any time during
the measurement, then the Peak PIM values will remain displayed with red numerals when
the measurement is complete. See Figure 8-3 on page 8-6 for an example of this condition.

to be managed. The Change Type Setup/JPEG/... and File Type_ALL submenu keys open the
Select File Type list box, which displays all of the file types that can be selected in the current
instrument mode.
The Select File Type list box may contain some of the following entries:
• ALL (displays all file types)
• Setup, *.stp
(Setup files contain basic instrument information, measurement mode setup details
(including calibration data), measurement marker data, and limit data.)
• PIM Measurement, *.pim
(Measurement files contain all of the measurement data and all of the information in
the setup files.)
• JPEG, *.jpg
• Limit Lines, *.lim
(The Limit line file contains limit line data details. The Limit function is available only
in PIM versus Time and Swept PIM measurements.)
• C&AA Measurement (with Option 331), *.dat
Traces saved as DAT can be viewed, edited, and analyzed with Handheld
Software Tools. If the DUAL measurement display is turned on, then files are
saved as Filename and Filename_2.
All data point formats are supported by the DAT file format, but LST must be used
Note
to open DAT files with 1102 data points or 2204 data points. Only with LST are
Smith Chart and 1-Port Phase measurements supported with DAT file format.
DAT files can be recalled only in C&AA mode, except for DTF-RL measurements,
which can be viewed in PIM DTP mode with the Load DTF Trace command.
You can also use the touch screen to open the drop down list for the Filetype entry box, as
shown in Figure 4-1 on page 4-4, Figure 4-4 on page 4-7, Figure 4-5 on page 4-9, and
Figure 4-6 on page 4-10.
File types *.map and *.kml (for two-dimensional and three-dimensional map functions)
are not use by the PIM Master.

the end of the filename. For instance, if the last measurement was saved with the name
ACPR, pressing Save Measurement As saves the next measurement as ACPR_#1, ACPR_#2,
and so forth. The filename that is used can be changed by using the Save dialog box
(Figure 4-1).
Save a Measurement
Press the Save Measurement submenu key and enter the name for the measurement file. The
file type defaults to measurement, and the appropriate extension is added based on the
current measurement mode. For more information about file types, refer to “File Types”
on page 4-2. Saving and recalling measurements provides a convenient reference for
comparing site conditions at subsequent visits.

be displayed with Line Sweep Tools.
6-2 Setting Up GPS (Option 31)

In order to acquire data from the GPS satellites, you must have line-of-sight to the satellites,
or the antenna must be placed outside without any obstructions. In addition to having
Option 31 installed, the PIM Master requires a GPS antenna.
Anritsu GPS antenna part numbers:
• 2000-1528-R (with 15-foot cable)
• 2000-1652-R (with 1-foot cable)
• 2000-1760-R (no cable)

Latitude and Longitude: Shows location in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Altitude: Shows altitude information in meters.
Fix Available: The cold start search sets are established to ensure that at least three
satellites are acquired within the first couple of minutes. When the three satellites are found,
the receiver computes an initial fix (typically in less that two minutes). Fix Available: No
means that the initial position has not been established.
Almanac Complete: The system Almanac contains information about the satellites in the
constellation, ionospheric data, and special system messages. In a cold start, the GPS receiver
does not have any navigation data, so the receiver does not have a current almanac. A
complete system almanac is not required to achieve a first position fix. The availability of the
almanac, however, can significantly reduce the time to first fix.
Antenna Status: OK and Short/Open
• OK: Antenna is connected properly and is working properly.
• Short/Open: A short or open exists between the antenna and the connection. If this
message is displayed, then remove and reconnect the GPS antenna. If the message
persists, then try another Anritsu GPS antenna. If the message persists, contact your
nearest Anritsu Service Center (refer to “Contacting Anritsu for Sales and Service”
on page 1-2).
Receiver Status: Current status of the receiver.
GPS Antenna Voltage and Current: Shows voltage and current.

7-4 Line Sweep Tools

Line Sweep Tools is a program designed to increase productivity for people who work with
dozens of Cable traces, Antenna traces, and Passive Intermodulation (PIM) traces every day.
Why use Line Sweep Tools?

Line Sweep Tools can:
• Collect sweeps from Anritsu PIM and Line Sweep gear.
• Help verify that those sweeps are done properly and that the Cable, Antenna, and PIM
sweeps meet specifications.
• Help create reports of the findings, quickly and to a professional standard.
MW82119B UG PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E 7-3

7-4 Line Sweep Tools Chapter 7 — Anritsu Tool Box with LST
Line Sweep Tools Features

The Line Sweep Tools user interface is familiar to users of Hand Held Software Tools, the
current industry standard line sweep post-capture trace processing software. This leads to a
short learning curve and easy trace collection, validation, and reporting.
The Anritsu Line Sweep Tools program includes:
• Presets for markers and limit lines, which take hours off the report preparation time
for a user with dozens of traces to verify.
• The Report Generator, which makes generating PDF reports for multiple traces, with
logos, quick and easy.
• Dual Trace viewing mode, which ensures compatibility with the E series line sweep
instruments and with the PIM Master.
• A naming grid, which makes naming files, titles, and subtitles much quicker and error
free.
• Line Sweep Tools can open DAT or VNA files from a wide range of current and
supported Anritsu handheld instruments.
• Line Sweep Tools can open the PIM files generated by Passive Inter-Modulation
measurements.
Using Line Sweep Tools

Like its predecessor, Hand Held Software Tools (HHST), Line Sweep Tools is intuitive for
most users. However, unlike HHST, Line Sweep Tools has the capability to work rapidly with
a large number of traces.
Figure 7-3. Line Sweep Tools Window
7-4 PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E MW82119B UG

Line Sweep Tools can open DAT files from HHST or VNA/DAT files from Anritsu
instruments. It also can open PIM files. Files (after opening) can be inspected and modified in
many different ways. Line Sweep Tools saves files as a new type of DAT file, and can export
traces as VNA, text, JPG, BMP, or PNG. Line Sweep Tools produces files that can be opened
by HHST.
Note Power meter mode (*.pm files) are not supported by LST.
Markers and Limit Lines

The easiest way to manage markers is to turn one on and use the mouse to drag it to the
desired position. The marker tool bar is shown in Figure 7-4. Markers number 2 and
number 8 are On in the figure. Markers can be set to an exact value by pressing the “ e”
button, which displays detailed marker controls, numeric value entry, peak find, and valley
find.
Figure 7-4. Marker and Limit Tool Bar
The dark button on the right turns on the limit line. When On, it can be dragged to the
desired location, or placed at an exact amplitude value by entering a number.
Marker Presets
The fastest way to manage markers on multiple traces is to use the preset function. The
marker and limit line preset tool bar allows users to quickly set all markers and the limit line
to pre-defined values on similar traces (Figure 7-5).
Figure 7-5. Preset Tool Bar
First set the markers and limit lines on a typical trace to the desired values. Then, press the
red “e” (edit) button on the Preset Tool Bar. This puts the preset buttons into “learn” mode.
Next, press a preset button (1 through 7). This programs the preset button where to put the
markers and limit lines. Finally, press the red “e” button again to exit the learn mode.
The programmed button is now enabled. Line Sweep Tools can program up to 7 buttons with
preset markers and limit line.
To use the preset, just press it, and the markers and limit line are displayed at the
programmed locations even when switching to a new trace. The two arrow keys make going to
the next or previous trace simple. Using presets, a dozen similar traces can be reliably
validated in seconds.
MW82119B UG PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E 7-5

Naming Grid
The naming grid allows you to quickly and consistently name files, trace titles, and trace
subtitles. The grid can be set up with custom phrases to make the naming process simpler.
Naming Grid Title
Filename Subtitle
Figure 7-6. Naming Grid and Naming Grid Tool Bar
To use the naming grid:

D-2 Operation Error Messages Appendix D — Instrument Messages and Errors
D-2 Operation Error Messages
Error Messages Stop Current Measurements
Warning! High Reflection from measurement path!

This message occurs when the connection to the test port produces large reflections back into
the instrument. This can compromise measurement accuracy. To fix this error, check all
junction connections, or remove the RF connection or component that is causing the high
reflection. The automatic Distance-to-Fault (DTF) function performed before each
Distance-to-PIM (DTP) test mode can be used to help determine the location of the high
reflection. An option will be presented allowing the user to continue PIM testing even in the
presence of a high reflection. This should only be used by experienced users for
troubleshooting purposes as the measured PIM value may not be accurate. A warning will
appear in large letters on the screen any time that the high reflection warning has been
by-passed.

Appendix E — Instrument Care
E-1 Introduction
This appendix provides instructions for preventive maintenance, battery care, and firmware
updates.
Appendix Overview
This appendix contains the following sections:
• Section E-2 “Preventive Maintenance” on page E-1
• Section E-3 “Battery Care” on page E-2
• Section E-4 “Battery Replacement” on page E-3
• Section E-5 “PIM Master Firmware Update” on page E-6
• Section E-6 “Adding Options with a License File” on page E-9
E-2 Preventive Maintenance

PIM Master preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and
cleaning the RF connectors on the instrument and all RF cables. Clean the PIM Master with
a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water, or water and a mild cleaning solution.
Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a lint-free wipe or cotton swab dampened with
isopropyl alcohol. Use a non-metallic object (such as the wooden end of a cotton swab) to push
the lint-free wipe into the connector RF interface to remove metal flakes. Visually inspect the
connectors. The pins of the connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you
are unsure whether the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the
dimensions are correct.
Visually inspect the test port cables. To obtain accurate readings within instrument
specifications, test port cables must be: free of metal flakes, uniform in appearance, and not
stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.

E-3 Battery Care Appendix E — Instrument Care
E-3 Battery Care

The PIM Master is supplied with a rechargeable battery that could potentially leak
hazardous compounds into the environment. These hazardous compounds present a risk of
injury or loss due to exposure. Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for
long-term storage of the instrument and storing the battery in a leak-proof, plastic container.
Environmental storage requirements:
Storage Temperature Limits: –20 °C to +50 °C, Relative Humidity ≤ 80 %
The battery packs should be stored in an environment with low humidity, free from
corrosive gas, at a recommended temperature range <20 °C. Extended exposure to
temperatures above +40 °C could degrade battery performance and life.
Battery charging limits: 0 °C to +45 °C, Relative Humidity ≤ 80 %
The battery supplied with the PIM Master may need charging before use. Before using the
instrument, the internal battery may be charged either in the instrument, using either the
AC Adapter or the 12-Volt DC adapter, or separately in the optional Dual Battery Charger.
Anritsu part numbers for these accessories are in your Technical Data Sheet/Product
Brochure.
Use only Anritsu approved battery packs. Anritsu part numbers are in the Technical Data
Sheet.
Recharge the battery only in the PIM Master or in an Anritsu approved charger.
When the PIM Master or the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.
Do not charge batteries for longer than 24 hours. Overcharging may shorten battery life.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
To prevent instrument damage, Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for
long-term storage of the instrument.
Temperature extremes affect the ability of the battery to charge: allow the battery to cool
down or warm up as necessary before use or charging.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
The battery may need to be replaced when the operating time between chargings becomes
noticeably shorter than normal.
Never use a damaged or worn out charger or battery.
Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery.

The battery compartment access is on the bottom of the PIM Master.
Figure E-1. Battery Compartment - Open
The battery snaps into the compartment door assembly. Orientation of the battery is
important. A diagram inside the battery door assembly and another diagram inside the
PIM Master compartment show an image of the battery. Notice that the connector end of the
battery is oriented away from the latch mechanism, and the battery connection openings are
up, or away from the plate of the door assembly.
The image in the battery door assembly shows the orientation in which you should see the
battery as you place the battery into the door assembly (see Figure E-3). Inside the
PIM Master compartment is a reflected image of the battery (see Figure E-2) to show how the
battery connectors align with the pins inside the compartment. As you place the battery door
assembly into the battery compartment, the battery connectors and the reflected image
should match, as if you were seeing the connectors reflected in a mirror.
To avoid connector pin damage, you must not press the battery downward onto the connector
pins within the battery compartment. You must position the battery door assembly so that
the battery connections can slide lengthwise onto the connector pins as you seat the door
assembly against the bottom of the PIM Master. The tab on the door fits into a slot located on
the edge of the case adjacent to the connector pins.

Appendix F — LAN and DHCP
F-1 Introduction
This appendix describes network connections for the PIM Master.
F-2 Ethernet Configuration
LAN Connection
The RJ-45 connector is used to connect the PIM Master to a local area network. Integrated
into this connector are two LEDs. The amber LED shows the presence of a 10 Mbit/s LAN
connection when on, and a 100 Mbit/s LAN connection when off. The green LED flashes to
show that LAN traffic is present. The instrument IP address is set by pressing the Shift key,
then the System (8) key followed by the System Options submenu key and the Ethernet Config
submenu key. The instrument Ethernet address can be set automatically using DHCP, or
manually by entering the desired IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask.
An active Ethernet cable must be connected to the instrument before it is turned

ON in order to enable the Ethernet port for DHCP or for a static IP address.
Depending upon local conditions, the port may remain enabled when changing
Note from DHCP to static IP address, when changing from static IP address to DHCP,
or when temporarily disconnecting the Ethernet cable.
If the port becomes disabled, then ensure that an active Ethernet cable is attached
to the instrument before cycling the power OFF and back ON.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol that automates the
process of setting IP addresses for devices that use TCP/IP, and is the most common method
of configuring a device for network use. To determine if a network is set up for DHCP, connect
the PIM Master to the network and select DHCP protocol in the Ethernet Config menu.
Turn the PIM Master off, and then on. If the network is set up for DHCP, then the assigned
IP address should be displayed briefly after the power up sequence.

Appendix F — LAN and DHCP F-3 DHCP
F-3 DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol that allows a server to
dynamically assign IP addresses to devices that are connected to the network. Most networks
include a DHCP server to manage IP addresses. When a DHCP server is available on the
network, DHCP is the preferred IP address assignment mode.
When using DHCP, no setup is required to lease and use a dynamic IP address. In a dynamic
IP operation, the IP address in use may change from use to use. The DHCP server hands out
IP addresses on a first come, first served basis. As soon as the device is disconnected from the
network, the IP address that it was using becomes available to lease to the next unit that
requests an IP address. Normally, some amount of lag time is present on the DHCP server
end, so if the device is connected again reasonably soon, then it may end up with the same
address.
When a DHCP server is not available, a Static IP address can be used. A Static IP address is
a fixed address. After being set, it will always remain the same, and care must be taken to not
conflict with other equipment on the network.
When using a static IP address on an established network, always request the Static IP
address from the network administrator. Randomly choosing a Static IP address on an
established network may result in duplicate IP addresses or other conflicts.
Three parameters must be set prior to using a Static IP address:
IP Address
This is the Static IP address on the network.
Default Gateway
Often when a static IP address is assigned, a default gateway is also identified. If the
default gateway is unknown, then type in the Static IP address so that the Static IP
address and Default Gateway are the same number.
Subnet Mask
This parameter is usually extracted from the Static IP address based on the class of the
address and determines the destination of any broadcast messages that might be sent
from the instrument. It can be customized if necessary. The subnet mask may also be
provided with the Static IP address.
Example 1
In this example, a Static IP address has been chosen because no network DHCP service is
available. The instrument is connected to the network port on the PC with a crossover
Ethernet cable (not included). This is also referred to as Direct Connect:
IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
UG PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E F-5

F-4 ipconfig Tool Appendix F — LAN and DHCP
Example 2
In this example, the Static IP address has been assigned with an associated gateway and
subnet mask:
IP Address: 153.56.100.42
Default Gateway: 153.56.100.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
F-4 ipconfig Tool

A few tools that are built into the Microsoft Windows operating system can assist in making
some determinations about the network to which the PC is connected. Typing ipconfig at a
command prompt produces a display of information about the in-use parameters of the PC
and its network connection. Following is an example of the typical results expected:
The ipconfig display does not report whether the information is from a DHCP

Appendix F — LAN and DHCP F-5 Ping Tool
F-5 Ping Tool

Another tool that can find out if a selected IP address is already on the network is ping. Ping
is a harmless way to determine if an address is found on the network, and (if it is found) to
receive a reply. Basically, the ping function sends out a request to a specific address to
determine if a computing device is connected to the network at that address. If a valid
connection is found, then a copy of the signal (that was sent) is returned. If a connection is not
found, then the response is “request timed out”, which means that no reply was received from
that IP address.

Appendix G — Glossary
G-1 Introduction
This glossary provides definitions for common RF terms that may be associated with the use
of a PIM Master.
G-2 Glossary Terms

3 dB rule : The 3 dB rule provides a means to estimate relative power values. A 3
dB gain indicates that power increases to twice the power (a multiple of
2). A 3 dB loss indicates that power decreases to half the power (a
multiple of 1/2). A system with 40 watts of input power and a 6 dB
insertion loss will have only 10†watts of output power (a multiple of 1/2
for each 3 dB loss, or 1/4 of 40 watts).
Adapter : A fitting that supplies a passage between two sets of equipment when
they cannot be directly interconnected.
Adaptive Array
Antenna : Adaptive array antenna is a type of advanced ’smart’ antenna
technology that continually monitors a received signal and dynamically
adapts signal patterns to optimize wireless system performance. The
arrays use signal processing algorithms to adapt to user movement, to
changes in the radio-frequency environment, and to multi-path and
co-channel interference.
ADC : Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC, A/D or A to D) is an electronic device

that converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. The
reverse operation is performed by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
ADC can uniquely represent all analog input values within a specified
total input range by a limited number of digital output codes. Refer also
to DAC.
Analog System : An Analog system uses an analog transmission method to send voice,
video and data-using analog signals, such as electricity or sound waves,
that are continuously variable rather than discreet units as in digital
transmissions. Mobile analog systems include AMPS, NMT and
ETACS.
Analog
Transmission : Analog Transmission refers to signals propagated through the medium
as continuously varying electromagnetic waves.

G-2 Glossary Terms Appendix G — Glossary
Antenna : Antenna is a device which radiates and/or receives radio signals,

including RF, microwave, and RADAR.
Antenna
beamwidth : Antenna beamwidth, also known as the half-power beamwidth, is the
angle of an antenna pattern or beam over which the relative power is at
or above 50% of the peak power.
Antenna Directivity : Antenna directivity, also known as antenna gain, is the relative gain of
the main beam of an antenna pattern to a reference antenna, usually an
isotropic or standard dipole. Antenna Directivity is the percentage of
radiated signal transmitted or received in a given direction related to
beamwidth.
Antenna Efficiency : Antenna Efficiency is the percentage of theoretical gain actually

realized from an antenna.
Antenna Gain : Antenna gain, also known as antenna directivity, is the relative gain of
the main beam of an antenna pattern to a reference antenna, usually an
isotropic or standard dipole. Antenna Gain is the effectiveness of a
directional antenna expressed as the ratio of input power of the
directional antenna to input power of an isotropic radiator to provide
the same field strength in the desired direction. Sometimes related to a
dipole antenna.
Antenna, Isotropic : An isotropic antenna is a theoretical point source radiating a spherical

power envelope.
Antenna, Parabolic : A parabolic antenna is an antenna utilizing a reflector that is shaped as

a paraboloid in order to both concentrate the radiated signal into a
beam and to provide considerable gain. Beamwidth varies inversely and
gain varies directly with the size of the antenna and with frequency.
Attenuation : Attenuation refers to decreasing in signal magnitude between two

points. These points may be along a radio path, transmission line or
other devices.
Attenuator : Attenuator is a device specifically designed to decrease the magnitude

of a signal transmitted through it.

Appendix G — Glossary G-2 Glossary Terms
Average power : Average power is the peak power averaged over time and is usually
applied to pulsed systems where the carrier power is switched on and
off.
Band Pass Filter : A Band Pass Filter is a radio wave filter with a specific range of
frequencies in which it is designed to pass. It rejects frequencies outside
the pass-band range. A resistor-inductor-capacitor circuit is an example
of a Band Pass Filter.
Bandwidth : Bandwidth usually identifies the capacity of a circuit or amount of data

that can be sent through a given circuit. It may be user-specified in a
PVC. It is an indication of the amount of data that is passing over a
medium. Also, bandwidth is the portion of the frequency spectrum
required to transmit desired information. Each radio channel has a
center frequency and additional frequencies above and below this
carrier frequency which is used to carry the transmitted information.
The range of frequencies from the lowest to the highest used is called
the bandwidth.
Broadband : Broadband refers to telecommunication that provides multiple channels

of data over a single communications medium, typically using some
form of frequency or wave division multiplexing. It is a service or
system requiring transmission channels capable of supporting rates
greater than the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) primary
rate.
Calibration : When making measurements, the instrument must be calibrated in

order to remove residual errors due to measurement setup conditions.
Anritsu recommends performing the calibration under the same
conditions as the measurement: temperature, frequency, number of
points, source power, and IFBW. Calibrations standards with known
reflection coefficients are used to calculate the correction factors. The
calibration must be conducted using the appropriate standards at the
open end of any test port cables and adapters that are connected to the
instrument. This ensures that the match, phase length, and loss of
these cables and adapters are all accounted for. For optimal
performance, high quality phase-stable cables and precision adapters
must be used.
Cell Site : Cell Site, also called Base Station, is the local cellular tower and radio
antenna (including the radios, controller, switch interconnect, etc.) that
handles communication with subscribers in a particular area or cell. A
cellular network is made up of many cell sites, all connected back to the
switch via landline or microwave.
UG PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E G-3

Coaxial Cable : Coaxial Cable (Coax) is a type of electrical communications medium

used in the LAN environment. This cable consists of an outer conductor
concentric to an inner conductor, separated from each other by
insulating material, and covered by some protective outer material.
This medium offers large bandwidth, supporting high data rates with
high immunity to electrical interference and a low incidence of errors.
Coax is subject to distance limitations and is relatively expensive and
difficult to install.
CW : Continuous Wave (CW)
DANL : Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL): Displayed average noise level
is sometimes confused with the term Sensitivity. While related, these
terms have different meanings. Sensitivity is a measure of the
minimum signal level that yields a defined signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
or bit error rate (BER). It is a common metric of radio receiver
performance. Spectrum analyzer specifications are always given in
terms of the DANL. One of the primary uses of a spectrum analyzer is to
search out and measure low-level signals. The limitation in these
measurements is the noise generated within the spectrum analyzer
itself. This noise, generated by the random electron motion in various
circuit elements, is amplified by multiple gain stages in the analyzer
and appears on the display as a noise signal. On a spectrum analyzer,
this noise is commonly referred to as the Displayed Average Noise
Level, or DANL 1. While there are techniques to measure signals
slightly below the DANL, this noise power ultimately limits our ability
to make measurements of low-level signals.
dB : Decibel or deciBel (dB) is a logarithmic ratio of the difference between

two values (a logarithm ratio is equal to 10 times). dB is a unit for
measuring relative power ratios in terms of gain or loss. The units of dB
are expressed in terms of the logarithm to base 10 of a ratio and
typically are expressed in watts. For example, a -3 dB loss indicates a
50% loss in power; a +3 dB reading is a doubling of power; 10 dB
indicates an increase (or a loss) by a factor of 10; 20 dB indicates an
increase (or a loss) of a factor of 100; 30 dB indicates an increase (or a
loss) by a factor of 1000. Common values of dB expressed in ratios: 0 dB
= 1:1, 10 dB = 10:1, 20 dB = 100:1, 30 dB = 1000:1, -30 dB = 0.001:1 [or
(1/1000):1].
dBc : Decibels referenced to the carrier (dBc) is a technique for expressing a

power measurement in logarithmic form using the carrier power as a
reference. The units are used to describe how far down signals and noise
are relative to a known signal. Typical use of this term is to describe
spurious signals and noise compared to a desired transmit signal.
G-4 PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E UG

dBm : dBm is an absolute measurement of power relative to 1 milliwatt. In

other words, dBm is a decibel value referenced to a milliWatt (dBm).
This is a technique for expressing a power measurement in logarithmic
form using 1 mW as a reference. dBm is a decibel ratio (log 10) of Watts
(W) to one milliwatt (1mW). dBm, therefore, represents absolute power.
Examples are: 0 dBm = 1.0 milliwatt, 10 dBm = 10 milliwatt, 30 dBm =
1000 milliwatt = 1 watt.
DHCP : Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DSP : Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
DTF : Distance-To-Fault (DTF) is the distance from the instrument output

connector (or the end of a test lead) to a problem area, as indicated by a
peak in the displayed signal. DTF measures the location and reflection
size of impedance mismatches. This is typically a diagnostic
measurement, not a pass/fail judgement measurement. DTF is used to
identify and locate faults within an antenna system when the system is
failing to meet the specified return loss or VSWR limits. DTF is also
useful to verify the total length of a coaxial cable assembly.
DTP : Distance-To-PIM (DTP), where PIM is Passive Intermodulation. DTP is

the distance from the PIM Master output connector (or the end of a test
lead) to a problem area, as indicated by a peak in the displayed signal.
FFT : Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an efficient algorithm to compute the

Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and its inverse. FFTs are of great
importance to a wide variety of applications, from digital signal
processing to solving partial differential equations to algorithms for
quickly multiplying large integers.
Flash Memory : Flash memory is a non-volatile solid state storage device that is
packaged as a chip. It can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It is
primarily used in memory cards, USB flash drives, MP3 players, and
solid-state drives for general storage and transfer of data between
computers and other digital products. It is a specific type of EEPROM
(electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) that is erased
and programmed in large blocks.
UG PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E G-5

GPS : The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation

satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time
information in all weather and at all times when and where an
unobstructed line of sight is available to four or more GPS satellites.
The system is maintained by the United States government and is
freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. The Global Positioning
System is making it possible for people using ground receivers to
determine their geographic location within 10 meters to 100 meters.
The satellites use simple mathematical calculations to broadcast
information that is translated as longitude, latitude, and altitude by
Earth-based receivers.
Impedance : Impedance is a measure of RF component electricl resistance, measured

in ohms. In most cable and antenna systems, the standard impedance is
50 ohms.
Insertion Loss : Insertion Loss (or Cable Loss) is a measure of the total amount of
sugnal energy absorbed (lost) by the cable assembly. It is measured in
dB. S21 (an S-Parameter) is another name for this measurement. This
is often a pass/fail measurement.
IP Address : An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is usually a numerical label

that is assigned to each device (computer or printer for example) that is
participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for
communication. An IP address serves two main functions: location
addressing and host (or network) interface identification. The Internet
Protocol originally defined an IP address as a 32-bit number. This was
known as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), which is still in use.
Growth of the Internet requires a new addressing system. An Internet
Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) that uses 128 bits for the address was
developed in 1995, and it is standardized as RFC 2460. IPv6 began
being deployed worldwide in the year 2000. IP adresses are binary
numbers, but they are usually stored in text files and displayed in
human-readable notations, such as decimal nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn or
172.16.255.1 (for IPv4), and hexadecimal
nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn or
2C01:AB18:0:1234:FF03:567C:8:1 (for IPv6). In IPv4, each decimal
group (nnn) represents values from 000 to 255, or binary values of 8
bits. In IPv6, each hexadecimal group (nnnn) represents values from
0000 to FFFF, or binary values of 16 bits (0000 0000 0000 0000 to 1111
1111 1111 1111).
G-6 PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E UG

IPv6 : Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a numerical label that is used to

identify a network interface of a computer or other network node
participating in an IPV6-enabled computer network. IPv6 uses 128 bits
for the address (as compared to an IPv4 address, which is defined as a
32-bit number). Pv6 was developed in 1995, and it is standardized as
RFC 2460. V6 began being deployed worldwide in the year 2000. I
addresses are binary numbers, but they are usually stored in text files
and displayed in human-readable notations, such as hexadecimal
nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn or
2C01:AB18:0:1234:FF03:567C:8:1 (where FFFF [Hex] = 65535 [Dec]).
Ea hexadecimal group (nnnn) represents values from 0000 to†FFFF, or
binary values of 16 bits (0000 0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111 1111).
LST : Line Sweep tools (LST) is PC-based post-processing software that

efficiently manipulates line sweep and PIM traces for reporting
purposes.
NF : Noise Figure (NF) is a measure of degradation of the signal-to-noise

ratio (SNR) that is caused by components in a radio frequency (RF)
device. The noise factor (F) of a system is defined as the signal-to-noise
ratio of the input power of the system divided by the signal-to-noise
ratio of the output power of that system. F (the noise figure) is defined
as the decibel value of the noise factor. NF = 10log (F) where log uses
the base 10, or common log. This formula is valid only then the input
termination is at standard noise temperature.
OSL : OSL or Open Short Load calibration method for coaxial line types.
Calibrations standards with known reflection coefficients are used to
calculate the correction factors. Refer to Calibration. Compare this with
SSL or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load calibration method for
waveguide line types.
OSLT : OSLT or Open Short Load Thru calibration method for coaxial line
types. Calibrations standards with known reflection coefficients are
used to calculate the correction factors. Refer to Calibration. Compare
this with SSLT or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load, Thru calibration
method for waveguide line types.
UG PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E G-7

OTA : Over The Air (OTA): OTA refers generally to any transfer of information
or signal that takes place in a wireless environment, rather than using
a wired connection. OTA is usually used in connection with a standard
defining the provisioning of mobile devices and applications, such as
downloading or uploading content or software, and commonly used in
conjunction with the Short Messaging Service (SMS). SMS OTA
Messages contain information that is used to configure the settings of a
WAP browser in a mobile phone (refer to SMS and WAP).
PIM : Passive Intermodulation (PIM) (interference) PIM is a form of

intermodulation distortion that occurs in passive components normally
thought of as linear, such as filters, combiners, surge protectors, cables,
connectors, and antennas. When subject to the high RF powers found in
cellular systems, these devices can generate spurious signals. PIM
shows up as a set of unwanted signals created by the mixing of two or
more strong RF signals in a non-linear device, such as in a loose or
corroded connector, or in nearby rust. Other names for PIM include the
diode effect and the rusty bolt effect.
RF : Radio Frequency (RF) is the frequency of radio sine waves. RF generally

refers to wireless communications within a frequency range of 3 kHz to
300 GHz. Formally, according to the Article 2 of the Radio Law, radio
frequency is below 3,000 GHz. Radio frequencies can be used for
communications between a mobile telephone and an antenna mast.
SCPI : Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI)
SOLT : SOLT or Short Open Load Thru calibration method for coaxial line
types with simple and redundant standards. It is not band-limited. It
requires well-defined standards. It has lower accuracy at higher
frequencies. Calibrations standards with known reflection coefficients
are used to calculate the correction factors. Refer to Calibration.
Compare this with SSLT or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load, Thru
calibration method for waveguide line types.
SSL : SSL or Short Short Load or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load
calibration method for waveguide line types uses Shorts with different
offset lengths. It is a calibration (common in waveguide) with simple
and redundant standards, but it is band-limited. It requires
well-defined standards. It has lower accuracy at higher frequencies.
Offset Short 1 is 1/8 wavelength, and Offset Short 2 is 3/8 wavelength.
OSL or Open Short Load calibration method for coaxial line types.
G-8 PN: 10580-00400 Rev. E UG

SSLT : SSLT or Short Short Line Thru or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load,
Thru calibration method for waveguide line types uses Shorts with
different offset lengths. It is a calibration (common in waveguide) with
simple and redundant standards, but it is band-limited. It requires
well-defined standards. It has lower accuracy at higher frequencies.
Offset Short†1 is 1/8 wavelength, and Offset Short 2 is 3/8 wavelength.
OSLT or Open Short Load Thru calibration method for coaxial line
types.
VSWR : Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). VSWR is another method to

measure reflected energy caused by impedance mismatch. It is
expressed as a ratio of X:1. VSWR measures the voltage peaks and
valleys. A ratio of 1:1 would be a perfect match. A typical cable and
antenna system would be around 1.43:1 (VSWR) or 15 dB Return Loss.
The Site Master can measure either Return Loss or VSWR. Some
carriers require that Return Loss is measured in VSWR. This is
typically a pass/fail measurement.
Watt : Watt (w) is a unit of measure for power.
