Abstract

Certain aspects are directed to an intermodulation detection sub-system. The intermodulation detection sub-system includes a test signal generation module, at least one intermodulation detection device, and a controller. The test signal generation module is integrated into a unit of a telecommunications system. The test signal generation module is configured to provide a test signal to a remote antenna unit of the telecommunications system. The intermodulation detection device is integrated into the telecommunications system. The intermodulation detection device is configured to detect intermodulation products generated by mixing a first signal component and a second signal component of the test signal. The controller is integrated into the unit. The controller is configured to control the test signal generation module and the at least one intermodulation detection device.
