Hi,

I don't know a book on this, but there are a lot of articles and documents on PIM in cell base stations. However, they are not a summarized history of PIM. Maybe this can help you anyway:

3GPP - Passive Intermodulation (PIM) handling for Base Stations (BS)
Microwave Journal - Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Testing Moves to the Base Station
Cai 2022 - Passive Intermodulation Measurement: Challenges and Solutions
