Technical & Support

PIM is an acronym for Passive Inter-Modulation. Inter-modulation occurs when a series of related and undesirable frequencies are created within a system, normally as signals pass through a junction or other non linear device.

PIM testing is a requirement necessary when installing or maintaining any antenna system. Testing is designed to research the sourcing of such issues using Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. Understanding the source is critical for troubleshooting, but remains just as much art as it is science. Pinnacle Consulting, Inc remains an industry leader in developing techniques and standards for cost effective issue inter-modulation issue resolution.

Pinnacle Consulting experts are equipped to address issues in the following areas:

• Manufacturing defects including main line components, antenna and jumpers
• Workmanship issues including failed connections, improper torque, contamination, faulty terminations, and “tuning” specifications.
• External source identification, location and resolution.

Once we have identified your requirements and our technicians have had the opportunity to test PIM levels, we will report our findings, troubleshoot, replace failed components, and/or make recommendations on actions necessary to eliminate all of your PIM issues.
