Conclusion

Overall, operators are utilizing a mix of mMIMO, RRU, and small cell radios with the rollout of 5G to optimize the spectrum and power efficiency at the network level. At the radio level, TI's RFICs enable the radio designers' power saving opportunities during transmission and reception idle periods. Moreover, TI's integrated DPD RFIC solutions allow the use of higher power efficiency PAs while maintaining highly linear performance. Designers are able to address one of the highest power dissipation sub-systems of radios by utilizing DPD to optimize system efficiency while adhering to stringent 3GPP specifications.
