The iPA is the first battery-powered PIM Analyzer versatile enough to support multiple test scenarios, such as tower top, tower base, roof, and DAS (Indoor Coverage System) testing.The iPA is a high-power, IEC-compliant instrument that is highly portable, rugged, and reliable. Each iPA comes equipped with a protected touchscreen interface for local control, as well as a mini iPad for remote control. This allows the operator to perform tests remotely by connecting the iPad to the analyzer via Wi-Fi, ensuring an easy and efficient portable testing experience in the field.
Some of the iPA's features include:
- Lightweight – less than 12 kg (26 lbs).
- Powerful reporting capabilities suitable for fault location and site closure.
- Multiple measurement modes: PIM
vs. Frequency, PIM vs. Time
, Spectrum Monitoring
, and a unique overlay of PIM and Return Loss on a single graph (RTF mode only).
It is currently available in four models covering major frequency ranges, including 850 MHz, EGSM900, DCS1800, and PCS, with more frequency bands to be available in the near future. The iPA comes enabled with “Range to Fault” (RTF) technology that allows the end user to accurately determine the source of a PIM problem within a site.
