Technical FAQs 3

How much power does a PSU need?

This is when the PSU is no longer powering the PA, which is the main power draw, but still needs to power other electronics. The current target for low-load efficiency is about 30 W. Some OEMs would like to see that drop to nearly 10 W.

What does a 42 volt power supply mean?

42V. It means that if the voltage drop is more than 6V, the ICT equipment will be protected. It can be seen that when the length more than 120m in the 4G system and the length more than 70m in the 5G system, the ICT equipment will be off because the low voltage protection of the power supply system.

How much power does a PSU need during a quiescent period?

During quiescent periods—typically 5 ms to 100 ms—the PSU must minimize all load power with the basic functions of the antenna unit remaining active. It also must be able to ramp up to full power whenever the antenna wants to check for any active users within its range.
