What are the requirements for outdoor base stations

What are base station active antenna system standards?

Our latest “Recommendation on Base Station Active Antenna System Standards” provides the industry with an updated set of parameter definitions, measurement methodologies and reporting processes. This enables a uniform way to describe the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the network side of the radio link (the “base station antenna”).

What should I know before setting up a base station?

Before you set up a base station, please see Base station operation guidelines. For construction applications, where machine and site positioning operations using GNSS will be carried out over a long time (weeks, months, or years), ensure that you carefully choose the base station location.

What are the different types of base stations?

Some basic types of base stations are as follows: Macro-base stations are tall towers ranging from 50 to 200 feet in height, placed at strategic locations to provide maximum coverage in a given area. Those are equipped with large towers and antennas that transmit and receive radio signals from wireless devices.

Do mobile phones need a base station?

Mobile phones and other mobile devices require a network of base stations in order to function. The base station antennas transmit and receive RF (radio frequency) signals, or radio waves, to and from mobile phones near the base station. Without these radio waves, mobile communications would not be possible.
