lNuvoton RF-GaN Power Amplifier (PA) Module is a fully integrated RF power amplifier module with driver amplifier, Doherty amplifier, and gate bias circuit for 5G NR massive MIMO and outdoor small cell applications.
The power consumption of the 5G base station mainly comes from the AU module processing and conversion and high power-consuming high radio frequency signals, the extremely high-algorithm and high-performance FPGA
Each nation has a different 5G strategy. For 5G, China uses 3.5GHz as the frequency. Then, a 5G base station resembles a 4G system, but it's on a much larger scale. For sub-6GHz in 5G, let's say you have a macro base station. The power levels at the antenna range from 40 watts, 80 watts or 100 watts.
The power amplifier device is a key component that boosts the RF power signals in base stations. It's based on two competitive technologies, silicon-based LDMOS or RF gallium nitride (GaN). GaN, a III-V technology, outperforms LDMOS, making it ideal for the high-frequency requirements for 5G. But GaN is expensive with some challenges in the fab.
Power amplifiers are small circuits that convert a low-power RF signal into a higher power signal in base stations and other systems. The power amplifier isn't the only device in the base station. These other devices are based on various processes. Nonetheless, GaN-based power amps also are gaining steam in 5G.
Globally, 5G is being deployed at two different paces, with China supporting half of the base transceiver station (BTS) market while the rest of Asia, Europe, the U.S. and late 5G entrant India dominate the balance of the market.
