Chapter 1 — General Information 1-2 Instrument Description

1-2 Instrument Description

Anritsu developed the PIM Master, with Site Master and 2-Port LTE options, to fully characterize the RF performance of transmission systems with a single test instrument. Previously, two separate analyzers were required to measure Passive Intermodulation (PIM) and impedance mismatches in RF transmission lines. With Site Master Option 331 installed, the PIM Master can now perform both tests to ensure minimum signal degradation, minimum noise generation, and maximum signal throughput. Capabilities with Option 331 installed include:

• PIM vs. TIME • Swept PIM

• Noise Floor • Distance-to-PIM

• Return Loss • VSWR

• Cable Loss • Distance-to-Fault (DTF)

1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance Chapter 1 — General Information

1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Site Master care and preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and cleaning the RF connectors on the instrument and all accessories. Clean the Site Master with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.

Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Connector Care

Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alcohol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are correct. Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance, and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.

To prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a plain wrench to tighten the Type-N connectors. The recommended torque is 12 lbf ·in to 15 lbf· in (1.36 N·m to 1.70 N·m). Inadequate torque settings can affect measurement accuracy. Over-tightening connectors can damage the cable, the connector, the instrument, or all of these items.

Visually inspect connectors for general wear, cleanliness, and for damage such as bent pins or connector rings. Repair or replace damaged connectors immediately. Dirty connectors can limit the accuracy of your measurements. Damaged connectors can harm the instrument. Connection of cables carrying an electrostatic potential, excess power, or excess voltage can damage the connector, the instrument, or both.

Connecting Procedure

1. Carefully align the connectors.

The male connector center pin must slip concentrically into the contact fingers of the female connector.

2. Push connectors straight together. Do not twist or screw them together.

3. To tighten, turn the connector nut, not the connector body. Major damage can occur to

the center conductor and to the outer conductor if the connector body is twisted.

4. When you use a torque wrench, initially tighten by hand so that approximately 1/8 turn or 45 degrees of rotation remains for the final tightening with the torque wrench.

Relieve any side pressure on the connection (such as from long or heavy cables) in order to assure consistent torque. Use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while tightening with the torque wrench.

Do not over-torque the connector.

Chapter 1 — General Information 1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Test Cable from PIM Master to DUT

Remove O-rings from the test cable and be sure that the connectors are clean. If the DUT connector has an O-ring, then use a torque wrench to tighten the connector.

When testing, cables are connected and disconnected many times. In order to save wear on these test cables and RF adapters, Anritsu recommends removing the O-rings. This allows getting a sufficiently tight connection without unnecessary

Note

stress on the connectors. In the field, O-rings are important to maintain connection integrity over long time periods. Connections must be torqued to specifications in order to ensure that they prevent water intrusion.

During your test, if the DUT connector has an o-ring, leave it in place and tighten to the correct torque.

Disconnecting Procedure

1. If a wrench is needed, use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while loosening with a second wrench.

2. Complete the disconnection by hand, turning only the connector nut.

3. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.

Connector Saver

Anritsu recommends using an adapter on the intrument's 7/16 DIN female RF Out connector to act as a connector saver. Typically, the instrument's connector has a useful life of 500 matings. A 7/16 DIN(f) to 7/16 DIN(m) and 50 Ω connector saver reduces wear on the connector, and may stay on the instrument while it is in the soft case or transit case. One connector saver is provided with your test instrument.

The recommended torque for attaching the connector saver to the instrument is 25 N · m (~18 lbf · ft). Use a torque wrench to make the connection.

Replacement connector savers can be purchased from Anritsu. The part number is in your Technical Data Sheet.

1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance Chapter 1 — General Information

ESD Caution

The PIM Master, like other high-performance instruments, is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas often build up a static charge, which (if allowed to discharge by connecting directly to the PIM Master without first discharging the static charge) may damage the PIM Master input circuitry.

Caution

Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices, equipment, and practices. Because these apply to the PIM Master, Anritsu recommends that any static charges that may be present be dissipated before connecting coaxial cables or antennas to the PIM Master. This may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the PIM Master. It is important to remember that the operator may also carry a static charge. Following the practices outlined in the referenced standards will ensure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.

Operators must be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary precautions.

Battery Information

The batteries that are supplied with the PIM Master may need charging before use. They can be charged using either the AC-DC Adapter or the DC adapter. The batteries can also be charged by using an external charger (refer to your Technical Data Sheet). Refer to

Section E-3 “Battery Care” on page E-2.

Use only Anritsu Company approved batteries, adapters, and chargers with this instrument.

The batteries charge at a faster rate when the instrument is turned off. Charging the batteries while the instrument is running requires a longer time to reach a full charge.

Note

To prolong the useful battery life, the internal charging circuit monitors the battery temperature. Normal charging occurs when the battery temperature is between 0 °C and 45 °C. Charging is paused if the internal battery temperature is beyond this range.

Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for long-term storage of the instrument.

When using the Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter, always verify that the

Caution

The PIM Master batteries can be replaced without the use of tools. The battery compartment access is on the bottom of the PIM Master. Refer to Section E-4 “Battery Replacement”

on page E-3.

PIM Master Firmware Update

Refer to Section E-5 “PIM Master Firmware Update” on page E-6 for firmware upgrade procedures.

1-4 Calibration Requirements

Field-calibrate your PIM Master as required to achieve acceptable residual PIM. The instrument provides calibration prompts to help you determine calibration status. Anritsu recommends annual factory calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service centers. The Cable and Antenna Analyzer mode requires calibration standards for OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD (OSL), which are sold separately.

Note

Anritsu recommends allowing the instrument to warm up to typical operation temperature (approximately 15 minutes) before calibrating.

1-5 Wireless Remote Control

Browser-based control allows you to remotely control the PIM Master from any Wi-Fi enabled device with web browser software (Chrome or Firefox preferred). This includes a wide range of tablets and phones running Android or iOS operating systems as well as the traditional Linux and Windows laptop and desktop computers.

Wi-Fi links are useful in the field, particularly when the PIM Master is on a tower, and you are on the ground.

For wireless remote control, a Wi-Fi router must be connected to the PIM Master.

Refer to Appendix C, “Wireless Remote Control” for more details on using this capability to enable wireless control.

Calibrating the PIM Analyzer

Caution During calibration, RF power is present, and the red RF On light is illuminated.

Calibrations are temperature-dependent. A temperature deviation of approximately 20 degrees Celsius voids an existing calibration. Two temperatures are displayed in a white font (in all PIM measurement modes) in the Instrument Settings Summary, just above the Calibration On/Off message. One is the temperature in the PIM Master now, and the other is the temperature in the PIM Master at calibration.

When the current temperature (labeled now) changes ±8 °C of the calibration limit, the font color of the current temperature is displayed in yellow. This color changes to red if the current temperature exceeds the calibration limit ±10 °C from the calibration limit. N/A is displayed for the calibration temperature when no valid calibration file exists for the current instrument settings.

All calibrations are valid for an initial 12-hour limit. If the PIM Master remains On, and if all settings remain consistent, then the current calibration file remains effective. If any setting is changed after 12 hours, including a power cycle of the PIM Master (Off and On), then a warning is presented indicating that the current calibration is more than 12 hours old. The message instructs the user to verify the instrument residual PIM level and re-calibrate if necessary. Calibrations can be used again after settings are changed and then returned to the previous settings for which the calibration was performed.

The standard calibration calibrates Distance-to-PIM, Swept PIM, PIM vs. TIME, and Noise Floor - Time View for the current instrument settings. A user-defined calibration dialog is available allowing users to select specific calibrations they wish to perform, and this allows multiple power-level calibrations to be performed at the same time (refer to the Passive Intermodulation Analyzer Measurement Guide that is listed in Appendix A for more information).

If you are performing a Noise Floor Spectrum View measurement, a separate calibration is required. Press the Start Cal Spectrum View button in the Noise Floor menu, and then follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the Spectrum View (alternately, you can use the “User Defined Calibration Dialog Box” as described previously).

These steps describe the standard calibration process:

1. Press Shift then Cal (2) to open the Calibration menu.

2. In the Calibration menu, press the Start Calibration submenu key.

3. If conducting a high-band intermodulation measurement (i.e., PCS, 1900 MHz, or IM2),

ensure that the PIM Master receiver port is open (disconnected) and skip to Step 4. For all other bands, connect the appropriate PIM standard onto the test port of the PIM Master or at the end of the PIM test cable.

4. Connect an appropriate Low PIM Termination onto the PIM Master output port or to the Low PIM standard if used.

5. Press Enter to calibrate or Esc to exit.

6. If you are conducting a high-band intermodulation measurement as noted in Step 4

skip to Step 13. During the calibration, CALIBRATION IN PROCESS... is displayed on the measurement screen in red letters, and a beep is emitted when this step is completed.

Verifying Residual PIM

Perform this test immediately following a calibration or when instructed to do so, such as when 12 hours or more have elapsed since the existing calibration was performed. Attach the Low PIM Termination to the Test Port or to the end of the PIM test cable.

1. From the Measurements menu, press the PIM vs. Time submenu key followed by the Te st submenu key so that Measure is underlined.

2. Lightly tap on the Low PIM Termination and flex the PIM test cable (if attached) during the PIM vs. Time test. The peak PIM value should be at least 10 dB below the pass/fail criteria for the DUT.

If the measured PIM is outside of the limit in Step 2, then you may have one of the following problems:

• Metal flakes inside one or more RF connectors

• Loose RF connector

• Faulty Low PIM Termination

• Worn connector saver (refer to “Connector Saver” on page 1-5)

• Damaged PIM Test Port connector

Investigate and repair the source of any problem, and then repeat the calibration process.

Verifying the PIM Test Cable

When testing, cables are connected and disconnected many times. In order to save wear on the PIM test port cables and adapters, Anritsu recommends removing the o-rings. This allows getting a sufficiently tight connection without

Note

If calibration was performed on the instrument test port, then you must next verify the PIM performance of the test cable.

1. Connect a test cable to the PIM Master and terminate the other end with a Low PIM Termination.

2. From the Measurements Menu, press the PIM vs. Time submenu key followed by the Te st submenu key so that Measure is underlined.

3. During the test, flex the test cable and verify that the PIM level of the test cable and the Low PIM Termination are at least 10 dB below the pass / fail criteria for the DUT.

If the test cable fails, inspect the connections to ensure that they are clean and tight. If poor performance persists, then repeat the calibration process.

unnecessary stress on the connectors. In the field, o-rings are important to maintain connection integrity over long time periods. Connections must be torqued to specifications in order to ensure that they prevent water intrusion.

During your test, if the DUT connector has an o-ring, leave it in place and tighten to the correct torque.

4. If the PIM level of the setup is within specification, then disconnect the Low PIM Termination and connect the test cable to the DUT for a PIM measurement.

Checking for External Interference

Before performing a PIM test on an antenna system, verify that external interference is not present at the selected IM frequency.

1. Connect a test cable from the PIM Master to the DUT.

2. Press the Measurements main menu key and then press Noise Floor to open the Noise

Floor submenu.

3. From the Noise Floor submenu, press the Te st submenu key so that Measure is underlined. This will perform a Noise Floor - Time View measurement.

4. Verify that the external noise level at the selected IM frequency is below the required system pass / fail threshold for PIM.

5. If high nose is detected, press the Noise Floor Spectrum View submenu key. If a calibration has not already been performed for this feature, press the Start Cal Spectrum View submenu key and follow the on-screen instructions.

6. Press the Tes t submenu key so that Measure is underlined. This will perform a swept noise floor measurement to help identify which frequencies in the uplink band are clear of interference. Marker 2 automatically shows the location of the current IM frequency.

3-4 Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Measurements Chapter 3 — Quick Start Guide

Making PIM Measurements

1. Press the Measurements main menu key and then press one of the measurement submenu keys (PIM vs. Time or Swept PIM).

2. From the Measurements menu, press the Te st submenu key so that Measure is underlined to start the test.

3. During the test, tap connectors and the antenna.

Note: Set the test duration time so that you can tap all desired areas.

4. After the measurement is complete, press the Save Measurement submenu key, provide

an appropriate name, and save the measurement. (Refer to Section 4-3 “File

Management” on page 4-3.)

The PIM Master continually monitors Return Loss at the two PIM test frequencies while performing a PIM test. If the Return Loss exceeds –6 dB, then the PIM test will be terminated, and this warning message appears: “Warning! High Reflection from measurement path!”

Note

If this message appears, use a DTF measurement (using Option 331 or a Site Master) to identify the location of the high reflections.

An option exists to by-pass the high reflection warning and continue testing into a high return loss system. The PIM value measured may not be accurate when high reflections are present. This option should be exercised by experienced users for troubleshooting only.

Measurement Types

From the measurements menu, you can select from these four measurement types.

PIM versus Time

This measurement tracks instantaneous PIM and also records Peak PIM levels throughout a fixed frequency PIM test. It is useful for dynamic PIM tests and provides a visual indication of the stability of the system under test.

Noise Floor

Two different Noise Floor measurements are available to evaluate Rx interference sources before making a PIM measurement. For each measurement, Tx power is Off. The Time View measurement allows you to check for external interference at the IM frequency that is being measured. The Spectrum View measurement allows you to view interference levels across the current Rx frequency range.

The IM products of interest are in the same frequency range used by mobile users equipment to communicate with base stations. It is therefore possible for nearby mobile equipment to generate signals that are powerful enough to interfere with your PIM measurement. The Noise Floor measurement mode graph area displays Noise Floor Measurement message:

Figure 3-7. Noise Floor Measurement Message

3-16 PN: 10580-00400 Rev. N MW82119B UG

Page 65

Chapter 3 — Quick Start Guide 3-4 Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Measurements

Distance-to-PIM

Distance-to-PIM (DTP) is similar to Distance-to-Fault (DTF), which Anritsu introduced in the Site Master for identifying the location of impedance mismatches in a feed line. DTP quickly and accurately identifies the location of PIM faults inside the feed system as well as beyond the antenna.

Distance-to-PIM is a swept measurement that enables identification of the location of multiple PIM sources in the RF path. Distance-to-PIM is an analysis feature only, and it should not be used as a pass / fail test.

Swept PIM

PIM measurements are the vector sum of all PIM signals that are generated on a line at the tested IM frequency. When multiple PIM sources exist, it is possible for the signals to combine out-of-phase at a particular test frequency to indicate a passing result when the individual PIM levels are actually failures. A Swept PIM test varies the IM frequency over a range of frequencies so that you get a clearer picture of the true, system PIM performance.

2-Port Measurement

Two-port measurements can be made in PIM vs Time, Distance to PIM, and Swept PIM modes. These modes display the message 2-Port Measurement in the graphing area of the screen. Refer to the PIM Analyzer Measurement Guide listed in Appendix A.

Figure 3-8. 2-Port Measurement Mode Message

Adding a Limit Line

1. Press the Shift key and then the Limit (6) key.

2. Press the Limit (Upper / Lower) submenu key to select the desired limit line, Upper or

Chapter 6 — GPS (Option 31)

6-1 Introduction

The PIM Master MW82119B is available with a built-in GPS receiver feature (Option 31) that can provide latitude, longitude, altitude, and UTC timing information. When GPS is actively locked to satellites, this information is saved with all saved measurements and can be displayed with Line Sweep Tools.

6-2 Setting Up GPS (Option 31)

In order to acquire data from the GPS satellites, you must have line-of-sight to the satellites, or the antenna must be placed outside without any obstructions. In addition to having Option 31 installed, the PIM Master requires a GPS antenna.

Anritsu GPS antenna part numbers:

• 2000-1528-R (with 15-foot cable)

• 2000-1652-R (with 1-foot cable)

• 2000-1760-R (no cable)

Activating the GPS Feature

1. Attach the GPS antenna to the GPS Antenna connector in the side connector panel (see

Figure 2-8 on page 2-11).

2. Press the Shift key then the System (8) key on the number keypad to display the System menu.

3. Press the GPS submenu key to display the GPS menu.

4. Activate GPS by pressing the GPS, On/Off submenu key so that On is underlined. When

GPS is first turned On, the GPS icon is displayed in red to indicate that less than 3 satellites are currently being tracked.

GPS Info

Tracked Satellites: Shows the number of tracked satellites (three are required to retrieve

latitude and longitude, four are required to resolve altitude). Generally, the larger the number of satellites tracked, the more accurate the GPS information.

Latitude and Longitude: Shows location in degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Altitude: Shows altitude information in meters.

Fix Available: The cold start search sets are established to ensure that at least three

satellites are acquired within the first couple of minutes. When the three satellites are found, the receiver computes an initial fix (typically in less that two minutes). Fix Available: No means that the initial position has not been established.

Almanac Complete: The system Almanac contains information about the satellites in the constellation, ionospheric data, and special system messages. In a cold start, the GPS receiver does not have any navigation data, so the receiver does not have a current almanac. A complete system almanac is not required to achieve a first position fix. The availability of the almanac, however, can significantly reduce the time to first fix.

Antenna Status: OK and Short/Open

•OK: Antenna is connected properly and is working properly.

• Short/Open: A short or open exists between the antenna and the connection. If this

message is displayed, then remove and reconnect the GPS antenna. If the message persists, then try another Anritsu GPS antenna. If the message persists, contact your nearest Anritsu Service Center (refer to “Contacting Anritsu for Sales and Service”

on page 1-2).

Receiver Status: Current status of the receiver.

GPS Antenna Voltage and Current: Shows voltage and current.
