A New Model to Determine Passive Intermodulation Terms When Non-Contributing Carriers are Added to Classical Scenarios

This paper provides a new theoretical model for the characterization of passive intermodulation behaviour when non-contributing carriers (i.e., carriers which do not directly affect the particular non-linear contribution under analysis) are added to classical two or three carriers scenarios.
