In the context of "space-ground-object" integrated communication and increasing spectrum resource constraints, the PIM problem is becoming increasingly prominent, while microwave components and system-level PIM are facing new challenges. Based on the experience and achievements in engineering practice of the China Academy of Space Technology in Xi’an, this title describes the basic theory, generation mechanism, analysis and evaluation methods, location detection and suppression techniques for microwave components of spacecraft PIM from a theoretical and engineering perspective. Furthermore, the latest achievements of microwave component PIM are outlined in depth, along with operational guidance and paths for further advancement
