Mitsubishi samples GaN PA for 5G massive MIMO
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will begin shipping samples of a new 16W-average-power GaN power amplifier module (PAM) for 5G massive MIMO (mMIMO) base stations on March 25.
The PAM uses the company's GaN HEMT and circuit design technology to achieve low distortion characteristics and high power-added efficiency of 41 percent in a wide frequency range of 3.6-4.0GHz (400MHz band) to reduce power consumption in 5G mMIMO base stations.
As 5G networks expand from urban centres to regional areas, mMIMO base stations, especially 32T32R mMIMO base stations, are expected to be increasingly deployed.
Mitsubishi says its 16W GaN PAM is particularly well suited for 32T32R mMIMO base stations because it reduces both production costs and power consumption.
The product can be widely deployed in North America and East and Southeast Asia.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
