Overcome 5G Base Station Design Challenges

As 5G New Radio (NR) moves into development, enabling technologies such as multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) and beamforming are critical. But these technologies can pose challenges to designers who need to implement them in 5G base stations and devices.

You’ll use active phased array antennas to implement MIMO and beamforming in base stations and devices. While these active antennas help overcome signal propagation issues, offer flexibility, and improve the performance of 5G communications, they also create test challenges. These include accommodating for greater mmWave frequency path loss, verifying RF performance of 3D antenna beam patterns over-the-air (OTA), and optimizing base station performance under real-world conditions.
