Flexi Multiradio BTS RF Module and Remote Radio Avoiding Passive Intermodulation during RF Module
Head Description and RRH operation
• maximum bandwidth (BW) used for the carriers is more than 0.5 x duplex separation
of the band
• carriers in configuration are wideband in nature (for example WCDMA or LTE), or
combination of wideband and narrow band carriers (for example RF sharing GSM-
WCDMA or GSM-LTE).
• antenna line PIM performance is poor, or not on the required level for the
configuration.
Table 598 Typical reference sensitivity degradation with different Antenna line PIM
performance.
PIM Typical Note
performance degradation
-140 dBc @ 2x43 ~10 dB High degradation, carrier configuration unusable in many
dBm cases
-153 dBc @ 2x43 ~2 dB Modest degradation, tolerable in many cases
dBm
-161 dBc @ 2x43 ~0.2 dB Minimal degradation, however, difficult to reach on the
dBm typical site environment.
When using wideband carrier configurations where PIM products fall into own receiver
band, it is recommended that antenna line PIM performance is at least -153 dBc
measured with 2 x 43dB test signals.
However, this kind of performance might be very difficult to achieve and maintain over
time in outdoor environment due to mechanisms behind the PIM including corrosion,
oxidation, material imperfections, and defects in workmanship. Some of these
parameters might change, and can degrade performance during operation. Taking that
into consideration, it is highly recommended not to use carrier configurations which are
generating intermodulation results in landing in own receiver channels.
