8. General Information For example if you set TX and TX to 43 dBm and get a measurement result of 120 dBm the measurement result as absolute power this represents a relative power of 163 dBc The calculation is as follows 120 dBm 43 dBm 163 dBc measured power in dBm minus transmitted power in dBm equals relative power in dBc The term relative power in this example is referring to the original output power setting of 43 dBm When stated in units of dBc the received PIM power is relative to is being compared to the transmitted power level of one test tone The difference between the transmitted power in dBm and the measured PIM power in dBm is the relative power which is then expressed in units of dBc The use of dBc units is not applicable to Noise Floor measurements because the Note transmitters are not On during this measurement 1 8 PN 10580 00285 Rev H MW82119A UG MG PM Chapter 1 General Information 1 14 Why Test for PIM 1 14 Why Test for PIM Anritsu has developed the PIM Master to verify and troubleshoot Passive Intermodulation PIM The PIM Master generates two high power tones usually in the transmit band of interest It displays and measures the third order fifth order or seventh order intermodulation products returning from the DUT to the PIM Master The third fifth and seventh order intermodulation products can be measured only if they fall into the range of the rec
