External PIM issues are a significant problem for mobile operators. Verizon 700 MHz sites, AT&T FirstNet sites, and T-Mobile 600 MHz sites all require special attention to meet performance objectives.
AT&T is in the process of changing how external PIM hunts are conducted on B14/B17 cell sites. New 2-Port PIM test equipment is being introduced to split the PIM test signals between the B14 and B17 antennas on a sector. This better simulates actual site conditions and will help focus mitigation efforts on the PIM sources with the highest service impact.
