Technical FAQs 4

What is a base station?

Base stations are one of the widely used components in the field of wireless communication and networks. It is an access point or base point of a particular area for network accessibility. In this article, we will discuss the different types of base stations with their advantages and applications in the real world.

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.

What are the advantages of a distributed base station?

The distributed base station is cost-effective and enjoys high flexibility in installation (by changing the different combination of RU solutions) and thus, incurs much lower deployment costs.

How does a base station RF work?

The base station's RF circuitry is housed in a small outdoor module known as a remote radio head (RRH) or remote radio unit (RRU). RRH performs all RF functions such as transmit and receive functionality, filtering and amplification. It also has analog-to-digital or digital to analog and digital upconverters.
