How to Customize Frequency Bands for Multi-Operator POI Combiners?
May , 30 2026
In modern Indoor Building Solutions (IBS) and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) projects, multi-operator co-construction and infrastructure sharing have become the definitive global model. Whether navigating international airports, expansive subway networks, high-density commercial complexes, mega-stadiums, or premier corporate high-rises, mobile operators increasingly prefer to deliver seamless wi...

Low PIM Components: The Real Engineering Math From link budget to selection traps
Jun , 16 2026
Anyone who has worked on distributed antenna systems will eventually have a head‑on fight with PIM. This post skips the fluff and only shows the engineering math. 1. Where PIM comes from — the formula Two frequencies f1, f2 pass through a non‑linear node (loose connector, oxidized plating, magnetic material) and generate intermodulation products: 3rd order: 2f1－f2 , 2f2－f1 5th order: 3f1－2f2 , 3f2...

PIM Interference vs. External Interference: How to Quickly Tell Them Apart On‑Site?
Jul , 07 2026
Anyone who does base‑station maintenance or network optimisation eventually runs into this: uplink noise floor spikes, users complain about dropped calls and low throughput, yet VSWR tests pass and there are no equipment alarms. Where is the problem? At this point, you have two possible culprits – PIM (passive intermodulation) interference generated inside your own system, or external RF interfere...

Combiner vs Duplexer: Not the Same Thing — A Complete Engineering Guide
Jul , 28 2026
Combiner and duplexer are not the same thing. A combiner is a device that merges two or more RF signals into a single output path, with all signals flowing in the same direction — primarily used for power combining on the transmit side. A duplexer is a three‑port device that isolates transmit and receive signals, allowing them to share a single antenna, with the two signal paths flowing in opposit...
