PIM Theory
PIM (Passive intermodulation)

The PIM product is the result of the two or more high

power frequencies mixing at device nonlinearities such
as junctions of dissimilar metals, metal-oxide junctions
and even loose connectors(connectors which are not
tighten properly). A linear system cannot produce
intermodulation but this non-linear behavior distorts

the signal,producing signal components not present in

the input.

Conclusion:
For cell which suffers with PIM issue we have 2 solutions:

first step the frequency can be retuned (quick solution)

In a second step the source of PIM should be found (some

part of HW)and fixed it.
