EMPIR project\u00a0RF Measurements for future communications applications (20IND03, FutureCom) is working to develop measurement methods to support the European industry in meeting these requirements. The devices will be assessed under real-world operating conditions and harsh environmental influences like those in orbital satellites. Also, a new methodology will be developed to measure the detrimental effects caused by high component density.<\/p>\n

One of this EMPIR project’s objectives is developing and validating novel measurement methods to evaluate the Passive Intermodulation (PIM) of RF electrical signals used in communications systems.<\/p>\n

This objective is part of work package 4, led by PTB<\/a>, Germany\u2019s National Metrology Institute, involved in the international standardization board IEC TC 46<\/a> to provide the industry with a solid basis for evaluating its components and measurement methods.<\/p>\n

In the last quarterly meetings of the IEC TC46, following input from the project, existing standards were revised and new standards were finalized.<\/p>\n

The following existing standards were updated and published in November 2021:<\/p>\n
