ADI's RF Front-End Family Enables Compact 5G Massive MIMO Network Radios

By Bilge Bayrakci, ADI

In the quest for higher data rates to support a variety of wireless services and different transmission schemes, system designers face higher circuit complexity but must meet similar budgets for size, power, and cost. Adding more transceiver channels in a base station tower yields higher throughput, but utilizing each channel at a higher RF power level is equally essential for keeping system complexity and cost at acceptable levels.
