Mitsubishi samples 16W GaN PA for massive MIMO

News

PA nodule for 5G massive MIMO antennas aims to lower costs and reduce base station power consumption

Mitsubishi Electric has announced that it will begin shipping samples of a new 16W-average-power GaN power amplifier module (PAM) for 5G massive MIMO (mMIMO) base stations on June 11.

PAMs, which can be used in 32T32R mMIMO antennas to reduce the manufacturing cost and power consumption of 5G mMIMO base stations, are expected to be increasingly deployed as 5G networks expand from urban centers to regional areas.

Mitsubishi Electric will exhibit its new 16W GaN PAM in the USA at IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2024 in Washington, DC, from June 18-20.

In September 2023, Mitsubishi Electric began providing samples of a GaN PAM that achieves an average output power of 8W (39dBm) over a wide frequency range from 3.4 to 3.8GHz, suitable for 64T64R mMIMO antennas of 5G base stations. The latest 16W (42dBm) GaN PAM achieves higher average output power over a wide frequency range from 3.3 to 3.8GHz, with the aim of extending the communication range of 5G mMIMO base stations and lowering their manufacturing cost by reducing the required number of PAMs, according to the company.
