Experimental studies of passive intermodulation in metal-to-metal contacts
Résumé
This paper describes experimental studies of passive intermodulation due to metal-metal contacts. These studies cover the influence of roughness surface profile and of the thin native oxide layer on PIM value versus contact axial forces. A complete description of a dedicated test bench used during different studies is done. Moreover, obtained results are compared to observations published earlier. © 2017, Electromagnetics Academy.
