Portable PIM Test Equipment

Installation issues such as loose RF connections, poorly prepared cable terminations and damaged RF components are potential sources of Passive Intermodulation (PIM) at a cell site. Left uncorrected, these defects can impact service requiring expensive repairs to restore site performance. Just as factory PIM testing has been used for more than a decade to verify PIM performance of RF components, portable PIM test equipment is now available to perform the same test at a system level in the field.

Kaelus is the industry leader in portable PIM test solutions. Since 2005 Kaelus has delivered thousands of highly reliable, portable PIM test sets to network operators and installation teams around the world to support field testing. Our rugged designs have been optimized for field use and are available in a variety of configurations to suit your testing requirements.

We also offers Calibration and Repair services for all of our test equipment.  For more information on these services please Contact Us.

iQA Portable PIM Analyzer

The iQA portable PIM analyzer is a feature rich, high power PIM test solution. The design includes an integrated panel PC with intuitive touch screen interface for performing PIM tests and generating site reports. Optional Range to Fault (RTF) technology enables the iQA series test instruments to accurately calculate the distance to PIM faults.

iMT Portable PIM Analyzer

The iMT series Passive Intermodulation (PIM) analyzer is an economical, high power PIM test solution. This rugged, simple to operate design accurately measures IM3 as well as return loss (VSWR) performance of the device under test. Test data can be collected and reported using an external laptop computer.

iHA Light-Weight, Portable PIM Analyzer

The iHA series “Companion” Passive Intermodulation (PIM) analyzer is designed to complement the iQA and iMT series high power PIM test solutions. This low power, highly portable analyzer is an ideal tool for identifying PIM performance issues in difficult to access locations.
