4 FAQs about 5G Macro Base Station User Cabinet 220V

Why do macro base stations need RF power drivers & amplifiers?

As wireless networks grow, macro base stations need efficient, compact solutions. Our new RF power drivers and amplifiers deliver high power, multiband support, and cost-effective designs to enhance 5G infrastructure performance and energy efficiency.

How much power does a macro base station use?

Legacy macro base stations aim to provide broad coverage at low cost, usually with four antennas for FDD mode and eight antennas for TDD mode. The output power ranges from 80W to 320W, with each channel reaching 40W to 80W, requiring RF chips with high integration, low power consumption, reliability, and a decent noise figure.

What is a macro base station?

One of the most compact outdoor macro base stations in the industry, it features a large, scalable capacity and multi-mode applications that meet the requirements of long-distance railways. The base station cabinet contains as many as six RF modules. These multicarrier modules support GSM-R 5.0 and the enterprise LTE (eLTE).

How Arctic semiconductor is enabling 5g/4g macro base stations?

Arctic Semiconductor is aiming towards enabling expansion of 5G/4G macro base stations by introducing transceiver chipsets that consume minimal power. These chipsets not only lower power usage but also implement sophisticated algorithms to enhance the efficiency of power amplifiers, leading to energy savings.
