Power Supply Scheme for Communication Base Stations in Harsh
The integration of advanced power management techniques alongside ruggedized designs ensures that communication base stations can operate effectively even in the most
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.
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.
During quiescent periods—typically 5 ms to 100 ms—the PSU must minimize all load power with the basic functions of the antenna unit remaining active. It also must be able to ramp up to full power whenever the antenna wants to check for any active users within its range.
