Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, causing radio frequency (RF) signals to be transmitted via an antenna system in a plurality of directions, and responsive to transmission of the RF signals, monitoring signals that are received by the antenna system to detect an interference signal that originates from a passive intermodulation (PIM) source. Other embodiments are disclosed.
