6 FAQs about Wireless Base Station Power Supply

Can eGaN FETs be used for LTE wireless base station infrastructure?

frequency eGaN FETs for LTE wireless base station infrastructure is presented. The ET synchronous FET bootstrap supply is used. 20 MHz LTE envelope with a 7 dB peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). diode. In this application, however, a diferent approach is Modern communication systems demand high data capacity and high speed.

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.

What is a WLSP transistor?

Such devices, the EPC8000 series, are available as wafer level chip scaled packaged (WLSP) GaN transistors with the device pin-out show in Figure 1. A four-phase synchronous buck pulse-width modulated (PWM) topology is selected, as shown in figure 2. The power switches are EPC8010 eGAN FETs.

What are the requirements for et power supplies?

To meet the requirements for ET power supplies, devices must operate eficiently at very high frequencies. This requires a device with an excellent hard-switching figure of merit, and also layout and package characteristics that maximize in-circuit performance.

How much power does a PSU need?

This is when the PSU is no longer powering the PA, which is the main power draw, but still needs to power other electronics. The current target for low-load efficiency is about 30 W. Some OEMs would like to see that drop to nearly 10 W.
