Understanding 5G Antenna Requirements Blog
Nowadays, most 4G mobile phones are 2×2, 5G is at least 4×4, and the base station antennas have as many as 128 or 256 antennas. The Internet of Things also requires
As per 3GPP specifications for 5G NR, it defines three classes for 5G NR base stations: These classes are as per cell types deployments like Macrocell, Microcell, and Pico cell. Wide Area base station: No upper limit Medium Range base station: <38dBm or 6.3 watts Local area base station: <24 dBm or 0.25 watts BS type 1-C
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.
5G NR (New Radio) Total Transmit Power, Maximum Cell Transmit Power, and Reference Signal Power. The total transmit power in a 5G NR system refers to the overall power emitted by a transmitter, which includes both the power used for carrying data (payload) and the power used for various control signals and reference signals.
Cell Reference Power determines the baseline power for a 5G cell and depends on bandwidth, RBs, and hardware capabilities. SS-PBCH-BlockPower is a crucial parameter for enhancing signal strength, calculated by adding a boost power value to the cell reference power.
