Effects of External PIM Sources on Antenna PIM Measurements
Jin Tae Kim , In-Kui Cho , Myung Yung Jeong , and Tae-Goo Choy
Abstract :	Antenna Passive Intermodulation (PIM) level measurement results are rarely credited to be due to external signal receiving characteristics of the antennas or serious effects from external PIM sources, such as the anechoic chamber absorber and antenna towe
Key word :	Passive Intermodulation, PIM, Antenna, Anechoic Chamber
