Equipment Needed to Build a 5G Base Station
Equipment for wireless signal transmission and reception, typically including RRU, BBU, and antennas. The RRU performs radio frequency processing and amplification; the
To keep the power density per MHz similar to LTE systems, the 100MHz 3.5GHz spectrum will require 5x 80 W, which is not easy to be achieved. 5G trials need to define a realistic output power trade-off between coverage, power consumption, EMF limits, and performance.
This acts as the “blood supply” of the base station, ensuring uninterrupted power. It includes: AC distribution box: Distributes mains power and offers surge protection. Switch-mode power supply: Converts and stabilizes power while managing DC output. Battery banks: Serve as backup power to keep systems running during outages. 3.
With the increase of power density and voltage drops on the power transmission line in macro base, it is recommended to use HVDC system for the 5G network. Requirements to ICT equipment Power Supply Unit (PSU) and supporting facilities. -42V. It means that if the voltage drop is more than 6V, the ICT equipment will be protected.
The radius of coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one-tenth of that of 4G base stations, and the coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one percent of that of 4G base stations. The deployment of macro base stations is difficult and the site resources are not easy to obtain.
