iXA: 2-port PIM Analyzer
Quick Start Guide
The iXA is a 2-port PIM analyzer typically used to measure Passive Intermodulation (PIM) located either internally or externally to an
antenna system. The iXA comes with two integrated Range to Fault (RTF) modules to seamlessly perform Distance To PIM (DTP) and
Distance To Fault (DTF) measurements. The iXA can also be used as part of the Kaelus
antenna system for external PIM.

The following steps outline how to:
•
Set up the 2-port PIM Analyzer to find PIM sources that are internal or external to the antenna infrastructure.
•
Zero the two integrated RTF to measure the Distance To PIM (DTP) and Distance To Fault (DTF).
•
Perform the measurements and document the results.
Please read the entire Quick Start guide BEFORE using the iXA.

2-Port PIM Finder Solution: iVA-0627A with PIM Finder Software, BPA-0707A and Low PIM probe
7.
Optional: PC or Tablet with either Windows, iOS or Android to control the iXA.
(*) Note: One PIM source and one Low PIM load minimum is required. Two PIM sources and two PIM loads would make the Zeroing function and
instrument verification more efficient
