PIM Mitigation Products

ConcealFab's PIM mitigation products offer unique benefits that complement our PIM Finder solution, enabling users to not only identify PIM sources but also take effective measures to mitigate them.

At Kaelus, we understand the challenges posed by PIM issues in wireless networks. To address these challenges comprehensively, we have partnered with ConcealFab to offer a complete solution.

Our PIM Finder solution allows users to locate external PIM sources with precision, facilitating efficient troubleshooting of the antenna systems.

By combining Kaelus' PIM Finder solution with ConcealFab's PIM mitigation materials, users gain an unparalleled advantage in locating and mitigating PIM sources effectively.

These innovative solutions work in tandem to optimize RF system performance, improve network reliability, and ensure an exceptional end-user experience.

FEATURES

  • PIM Source: ConcealFab's PIM Source Assembly serves as an invaluable tool for accurate PIM testing and troubleshooting. Optimized to generate maximum PIM in the 700 MHz band, this diode-based PIM source allows users to validate the effectiveness of their PIM mitigation efforts. Additionally, the integrated "PIM Blanket" shielded pouch suppresses PIM when not in use, ensuring precise and clean testing conditions.
  • PIM Blanket: As a temporary RF barrier, the PIM Blanket plays a crucial role in isolating PIM sources. When deployed on rooftops, in front of, and behind base station antennas, it effectively reduces PIM from external sources by >30 dB. Beyond pinpointing external PIM locations, the PIM Blanket provides vital insights into the potential improvement achievable with permanent repairs.
  • PIM Foil: This lightweight and flexible RF barrier is designed for temporary deployment in front of and behind base station antennas. By utilizing PIM Foil, users can effectively isolate sources of PIM, resulting in a significant reduction of >30 dB when placed over external PIM sources. The PIM Foil empowers users to validate the potential improvement achievable with permanent repairs.
  • PIM Tape: Specially designed to complement PIM Foil and PIM Blanket installations, PIM Tape offers reliable adhesion to ensure secure and long-lasting setups. It becomes an indispensable accessory when deploying PIM Foil in windy areas, maintaining the integrity of the PIM mitigation solution.

pim foil
application
Overlap rows of PIM Foil by 3 inches when covering large areas.
A dashed line printed on the 36-inch wide foil provides a guide for overlap.
Tape PIM Foil in place to prevent movement due to wind. Surfaces must be clean and free of dust and dirt to improve tape adhesion.
Tape adjacent rows of PIM Foil together as required to prevent separation.
Additional ballast may be required, in addition to tape, to prevent lifting in wind.
Wind Speed Limitation: Not recommended for wind speeds exceeding 10 mph (1.6 kph). For higher wind applications, consider using PIM Blankets.
For permanent repairs, PIM Foil must be covered by UV stable protective layer such as Vinyl tape or TPO / EPDM roofing membrane
