Abstract :
In this paper, dual notched annular ring PIM-generator is proposed. It is confirmed that effective excitation of short steel wire is achieved by using notch structure. By PIM measurement using printed dipole antenna, where PIM-generator is positioned about 4/3 λ from antenna, it is also confirmed that PIM-level generated from proposed PIM-generator can be controlled from -84 dBm to -100 dBm by rotating PIM-generator mounting angle.
