With 5G network deployments, some of the most radical changes from earlier generation wireless systems will affect the Radio Access Network or RAN layer. The proliferation of small cells presents new opportunities and challenges to carriers, operators, and network equipment providers.
This white paper addresses the challenges designers face in ensuring that 5G RAN infrastructure is efficiently and effectively powered, with a focus on the capabilities of DC-DC modules.
The paper includes detailed technical discussions of system architectures and design tradeoffs, the most relevant DC-DC module features, and considerations for the various parts of the 5G antenna.
