What is 5G power supply?

The development of 5G networks brings new challenges for powering base stations. MPS has developed a powerful new power supply solution for 5G telecom applications that ensures stable and efficient power delivery, accurate current sensing, and highly efficient power factor correction to maintain a stable output voltage amid large load variations.

Which MPs products are best for 5G?

Several innovative, high-performance MPS products, including the MPF32010, MCS180x family, MP18831, MPF32020, MP023 and MPQ27800 New 5G networks bring new challenges for powering base stations. MPS has developed a powerful, efficient new power supply solution for 5G telecom applications using several innovative products.

How does a 5G base station reduce OPEX?

This technique reduces opex by putting a base station into a “sleep mode,” with only the essentials remaining powered on. Pulse power leverages 5G base stations’ ability to analyze traffic loads. In 4G, radios are always on, even when traffic levels don’t warrant it, such as transmitting reference signals to detect users in the middle of the night.

How will mmWave based 5G affect PA & PSU designs?

Site-selection considerations also are driving changes to the PA and PSU designs. The higher the frequency, the shorter the signals travel, which means mmWave-based 5G will require a much higher density of small cells compared to 4G. Many 5G sites will also need to be close to street level, where people are.

How do small cells fit into the 5G ecosystem?

A cell tower (also called a macrocell) is a huge umbrella used to provide radio signals to thousands of users in large areas with minimal obstructions. To extend the coverage of a macrocell, distributive antenna systems (DASs) are used in conjunction with the cell tower.

How do you convert a base station to a power supply?

The most common method is to use multistage conversion: Table 1. Base station types. first the AC/DC or isolated PoE converter generating the intermediate bus voltage of 12 V or 5 V, and then a point-of-load converter to step down once more to the necessary voltage level.
