Are We marching into the era of 5G?

Today, we are marching into the era of 5G. Internet usage has gone up over 200% in the last decade , and is expected to more than double through 2025 as more devices connect to the internet.

What is the trend in 5G radio applications?

The trend in 5G radio applications is to use higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. Increasing the frequency increases the speed of sending/ receiving signals and helps shrink the size of the antenna, which in turn shrinks the size of the cell.

Why do small cells need a 5G antenna?

Increasing the frequency increases the speed of sending/ receiving signals and helps shrink the size of the antenna, which in turn shrinks the size of the cell. Shorter wavelengths result in a decrease in signal penetration and radius, reinforcing the need for small cells. How do small cells fit into the 5G ecosystem?

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.
