Base Station Base Station (BS) is a key component of the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture that serves as an access point for wireless connections between user equipment (UE) and the network. It consists of a radio unit and an antenna system that transmits and receives signals to and from the UE.
2. Control Unit (CU) The Central Unit (CU) efficiently orchestrates network resources and manages base stations, playing a critical role in enhancing 5G RAN performance and adaptability. One of the key functions of the CU is to establish and release connections between user equipment and the network.
The choice of sensing and biasing circuits brings design trade-offs. 5G base station power amplifiers (PAs) need biasing using a separate bias controller to maintain optimum performance over temperature. When designing a PA bias circuit, you can use current sensing with open-loop control or temperature feedback for closed-loop control.
These nodes include the User Equipment (UE), the Base Station (BS), the Central Unit (CU), and the Distributed Unit (DU). The 5G RAN architecture also includes several key components, including the Radio Frequency (RF) Front End, the Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and the Antenna System.
