Anritsu 2000-1884-R
PIM Hunter Test Probe
The Anritsu 2000-1884-R PIM Hunter test probe is used for detection of external passive intermodulation (PIM) sources at cell sites, which can help overcome the PIM problem of an elevated noise floor and degraded wireless network performance.
Some of the important features of the Anritsu 2000-1884-R PIM Hunter test probe include:

What is PIM Hunter™?
PIM Hunter™ is a specialized antenna designed to identify external Passive Intermodulation (PIM) sources affecting cellular systems. It operates over a frequency range of 600 to 2700 MHz.
How does PIM Hunter™ work?
It is used with Anritsu's PIM Master™ and handheld spectrum analyzers. The PIM Master™ generates primary test tones to produce intermodulation products, which the PIM Hunter™ then locates by pinpointing their exact locations.
What devices are compatible with PIM Hunter™?
Compatible devices include Spectrum Master™ MS2720T, BTS Master™ MT8220T, Spectrum Master MS2712E, MS2713E, Cell Master™ MT8212E, MT8213E, and Site Master™ S332E, S362E. These devices need to be in burst detect sweep mode or have custom settings along with a bandpass filter.
What is Passive Intermodulation (PIM)?
PIM occurs when downlink signals mix at passive, non-linear junctions in the RF path, creating new signals that can elevate the noise floor and degrade system performance if they fall within an operator's uplink band.
How does PIM Hunter™ improve cellular system performance?
By allowing technicians to quickly discover and precisely locate external PIM sources, PIM Hunter™ enables the optimization of wireless network performance by reducing interference.
What are the key features of PIM Hunter™?
Key features include a fiberglass extension rod for reach, a molded ABS probe cover for protection, a Times Microwave TuffGrip® rubber handle for grip, and a Type N, female RF connector for connectivity.
How does PIM Hunter™ complement Anritsu’s Distance-to-PIM™ (DTP) technology?
DTP technology calculates the distance between the antenna and external PIM sources. Technicians can then use PIM Hunter™ to walk along the arc of that distance to detect the exact source of external PIM.
What is the process for hunting external PIM with PIM Hunter™?
The process involves using an Anritsu PIM Master device to inject high-power test signals into the system under test, exciting any PIM sources. Technicians then use PIM Hunter™, connected to a spectrum analyzer with an appropriate band-pass filter, to hunt for these signal sources.
How does PIM Hunter™ indicate the location of a PIM source?
When the probe tip of PIM Hunter™ comes in close proximity to a PIM source, the PIM value increases significantly (up to 30 dB), pinpointing the precise location of the PIM source.
