ASSESSMENT OF POWER CONSUMPTION OF BASE STATION AMPLIFIERS
Keywords:
base station, amplifier, efficiency, power consumptionAbstract
The circuitry, design and technological features of power amplifiers of various classes used in base stations (BS) of mobile communication are analyzed. Their efficiency and power consumption are assessed depending on the ratio of output working and maximum powers. It is shown that in modern BS it is preferable to use multicarrier Doherty amplifiers.
