Zusammenfassung:A device, method, and computer-readable medium are provided for detecting and mitigating signal interference due to passive intermodulation at a base station. Generally, when antennas are configured to transmit at two or more different bands or frequencies, particular combinations of frequencies can introduce passive intermodulation at one of the corresponding receive bands or frequencies. Passive intermodulation is exacerbated, in some instances, due to the presence of non-linearities in the RF path. Embodiments can be configured to automatically detect the presence of passive intermodulation in one of the receive bands or frequencies and dynamically mitigate the affected receive signal to maintain optimal system performance.
