Passive HF- und Mikrowellenbauteile, Messung des Intermodulationspegels - Teil 4: Messung der passiven Intermodulation in koaxialen Kabeln (IEC 62037-4:2012); Deutsche Fassung EN 62037-4:2012
Overview
The standards of the IEC 62037 series describe the measurement of the passive intermodulation level. This standard defines test fixtures and methods recommended for measuring levels of passive intermodulation generated by coaxial cables. Two dynamic test methods and a static test method are defined. All coaxial cables are subjected to the static and clamped cable loop dynamic test. Cables classified as flexible or semi-flexible are additionally subjected to the flexing tool dynamic test. The responsible committee is DKE/K 412 "Kommunikationskabel (Kabel, Leitungen, Wellenleiter, Lichtwellenleiter, Komponenten, Zubehör und Anlagentechnik für die Nachrichten- und Informationsübertragung)" ("Communication cables (Cables, wires, waveguides, fibre optics, components, equipment and installation technology for the transmission of news and information)") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
