Power supplies for 5G base stations
When power requirements are greater than 1000W, the UHP-1500/2500 series are suitable for these base stations. Station manufacturers
Therefore, in 5G networks, high-frequency resources will no longer use macro base stations, micro-cells become the mainstream, and the small base stations will be used as the basic unit for ultra-intensive networking, that is, small base stations dense deployment.
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.
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.
According to the principle of mobile communication, the transmission distance and frequency of the signal are inversely proportional when the power ratio of receiving and transmitting is constant. The frequencies of 4G base stations are generally from 2.3GHz to 2.6GHz, and the frequencies of 5G high-frequency base stations are above 28GHz.
