[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to an antenna intermodulation index testing device. Background Art

[0002] At present, domestic manufacturers' antennas' PIM (passive intermodulation distortion) is mostly tested by tapping. The tapping test is to generate mechanical vibration by tapping the antenna or its supporting structure to simulate the vibration environment under actual use conditions. However, the antenna is a complex structure composed of multiple components, including antenna elements, connectors, supporting structures, etc. Each component may have an impact on the performance of the antenna. The tapping test can only tap specific parts of the antenna, and cannot ensure that all components are subjected to sufficient force. This may result in the test results not being able to fully and accurately reflect the overall performance and quality of the antenna. The tapping test cannot simulate the actual vibration environment of the antenna during actual use.
