Additional information

This paper represents the first attempt to systematically investigate the effect of transmission line discontinuities on distributed passive intermodulation (PIM). The key experimental results are presented and a phenomenological model is discussed. It has been shown that geometrical discontinuities can change the PIM product distribution on microstrip lines and thus must be properly accounted for in the accurate characterisation of distributed PIM with printed transmission lines. The work on the subject directly contributed to the RAEng/EPSRC Research Fellowship received by the first author.
