Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting an interference signal in two or more signals received via orthogonally-polarized elements of an antenna system, the interference signal originating from a passive intermodulation (PIM) source, measuring a polarization of the interference signal, by comparing the two or more signals, to estimate a shape of the PIM source, and generating information regarding the shape to facilitate locating of the PIM source. Other embodiments are disclosed.
